University of Santo Tomas Miguel de Benavides Library Lobby Alberto Drive España, Manila

The UST Miguel de Benavides Library houses rare, historical and important books and documents which serve as eloquent witnesses to the important role of the University in nurturing the minds and values of the people who contributed to the birth and growth of the Philippine nation for centuries. Over the years, these timeless treasures have become fragile and dilapidated, others need minor repairs and others require extensive help. Since 1996, the UST Library has been restoring its significant rare collections with the help of its benefactors. These historical collections have been cherished since then. Book restoration is an expensive endeavor and is difficult to sustain with only limited resources. Thus, the Library initiated the Sagip-Aklat: Rare Books Sponsorship Program. It is designed to provide extra resources to build the fund for conservation and restoration of the Library’s old, rare, and historic books by donating funds to support the repair of one or more items. It is also an opportunity for others to contribute to the preservation of the rich heritage of the Philippine nation. Objectives: 1. To provide assistance to the restoration of the library’s rare and priceless books; 2. To extend the useful life of the library’s rare and historical collections; 3. To protect and save the nation’s/world’s knowledge for future generations; and 4. To generate a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards the appreciation of the importance of preserving rare and historical books and documents.
