Yesterday Msgr. Julian Barrio, Archbishop of Santiago, inaugurated a new Xacobean library at the Cathedral that will be open to pilgrims. The Archbishop said that the new library symbolizes a "cultural offer from the archival library of the Cathedral"<BR>
There are other important Xacobean libraries in Santiago: one in the Theological Institute, one in the University of Compostela, one in the Galician Culture Council, one in the Father Sarmiento Institute and one in the Museum of Pilgrimages.<BR>
The new library in the Cathedral, however, will make freely available historical Xacobean documents that heretofore have only been seen by scholars, writers and investigators upon special requests. <BR>
Also,<BR>
The necessary facilities have been almost completed to allow visits by the general public to the roofs of the Cathedral, another privilege heretofore allowed only to a few. Visitors to the roof will be limited to a certain number per hour, on a first come first served basis, commencing in May.<BR>
Warm regards,<BR>
Rosina<BR>
