Library is a treasure house of books and is capable of meeting almost all

the information needs of people. Libraries are temples of knowledge,

education/learning, where generations of young and old get enlightenment on the

achievements of mankind. Goa can be legitimately proud of having one of the

oldest libraries in India as well as in Asia which has enriched Goan cultural and

educational life.

Krishnadas Shama Goa State Central Library:

The State Central Library occupies the pride of the place among the public

libraries in India, especially for its collection on Goan History and Culture. The

Central Library is the oldest Public Library in India established on 15th

September 1832 by Vice Roy Dom Manuel de Portugal e Castro as `Publica

Livaria`. Four years earlier to Calcutta Public Library, 1836 (The National

Library of India). It was changed to Bibliotheca Publica and enriched with

bibliographical repository transferred from the Convents run by religious orders,

which were suppressed. However, the collection on Mathematics and Military

Science was left in Academia and books on Administrative and Legislative

matters were transferred to Secretariat Library. On 15th

February 1897 the status

of library was raised to that of a ‘National Library’ and renamed as `Bibliotheca

Nacional de Nova Goa`. In March 1925, it was annexed to the academic and

cultural institution (Instituto Vasco da Gama) and designated as “Biblioteca

Nacional Vasco da Gama” by Decree Law no.38684 dated 18th

March 1952.

Under this Decree the privilege of `Deposito Legal` (Delivery Act) was made

applicable to this library by virtue of which the library received all publication

from Portugal and her overseas Provinces. From September 1959, the

Bibliotheca was detached from the Instituto Vasco-da-Gama and put under the

administrative control of ‘Servicos de Instruccao e Saude’ (Education and Health

Services); it was then renamed as “Biblioteca Nacional de Goa”. The collection

of pre-liberation period consists mainly of books and journals in Portuguese,

French, Latin, English and very few books in local language like Konkani and

Marathi. The total pre-liberation collection was about 40,487 volumes.

2

The earliest book available is Repertorium Singularium Super Toto

Codice Lugdini by Baldi published in 1539. The collection of the library has

manuscripts and codices in Portugues, Castilian, Latin, Tamil, Ceylonese,

Canary and Konkani dating since 17th

and 18th

century.

The collection of the local newspapers includes the publication of Estado

da India Portuguesa since 1856 to 1961 and then from 1961 to present day

publication.

The library is an important center for Indo-Portuguese studies as well as

Portuguese colonial history. It is also a repository of Indo Portuguese Literature.

The other important collection is of “Boletim Official” (Official Gazette) dating

since 1837 till date.

Further, State Central Library is acting as a repository of books published

in State under the provision of the Delivery of Books Act, 1954. To support the

library movement the Government of Goa has passed and enacted the Goa Public

Libraries Act, 1993.

Present Status of Library:

Government in an effort to inculcate reading habits among the youth and to

encourage research has set up a six floor library in the heart of the city at Patto,

Panaji – Goa. Central Library is the State Library at the apex of Public Library

system in Goa. It has under its control Seven Taluka Libraries and one District

Library in South. Besides Goa has altogether 154 Village libraries which

includes NGO’s Libraries, Village Panchayat libraries and 4 Government Village

Libraries.

1.4.2 PRESERVATION/FUMIGATION LABORATORY

A separate Preservation and Conservation laboratory has set up in 2013.

The preservation lab takes care and treatment of rare books, manuscripts,

newspapers, magazines etc. to prevent further damage and deterioration and to

improve the condition for further use. The staff was trained by experts from

Nation Archives, New Delhi and CSMVS Museum Art Conservation, Mumbai.

Informative documents from this section are mostly of paper material

like Manuscripts, Early Imprints, Official Gazettees, Newspapers and Books

from 17th

century onwards. Due to course of time and on account of physical,

chemical and biological factors, their properties undergo change and they

deteriorate and get damaged. Part of the collection is microfilmed so that the

40

information from the damaged book/document is read from microfilm. But it is

obligatory on our part to protect and preserve this heritage for as long as

possible. This is possible only if proper treatment is provided to these

documents which are already deteriorated which is called Conservation and

Preservation. Fumigation is also being done for the books infected.

During the period of April 2018 to March 2019, around 1851 pages were

preserved.

“When you speak of him, speak not with tears,

for thoughts of him should not be sad.

Our team has been really affected after you have gone. With you,

we have performed efficiently at every step. Leaving the team’s

performance at side, we will all miss you so much. Farewell.

May your soul rest in peace.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

You are the best thing that happened to this office in years.

Farewell rockstar !
