What is the Heritage Library?

The Heritage Library is a reference resource of valuable Heritage material. It seeks to collect, organise and disseminate all information about our nation's diverse ethnic groups and cultures.  It acquires and preserves for posterity, all print and non-print material relevant to our heritage. This includes also, primary sources of orally transmitted knowledge.

Comprehensive information about our collection can be found on our Collection and Services page.

The Library is open to all members of the public throughout Trinidad and Tobago. Users comprise secondary school students, foreign and local university students, students of other tertiary institutions and persons conducting private research.

The Library has compiled several bibliographies, which can be viewed on our Bibliographies page.
