Collections

Lazkaoko Beneditarren Fundazioa securely houses the bulk of Basque documentation compiled by Juan Jose Agirre over the past four decades. This includes Basque newspaper archives, documentary collections, miscellaneous archives, posters and stickers. Collectively, this documentation is known as the Lazkao Benedictine Collection, and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the last forty years of Basque history.

The Library of the Benedictine Monastery and the Basque Library compiled by Agirre are safeguarded in the Benedictine Monastery. They aren’t part of the foundation’s heritage, but their collections are available in the foundation. The catalogue is in the Euskadi Collective Catalogue.
