Filipinas Heritage Library

As memory keeper and advocate of Philippine history and culture, Filipinas Heritage Library (FHL) aims to spark and stoke interest in key facets of the story of the Filipino. FHL is a one-stop digital research hub on the Philippines that houses contemporary and rare volumes on Philippine art, history, and culture. Among its notable holdings are:
  • The Roderick Hall Memorial Collection of World War II materials
  • The Himig Collection of vintage to modern music recordings
  • The Retrato Collection of vintage photographs
  • The Elpidio R. Quirino Presidential Papers
  • The Manuel L. Quezon Family Collection
  • Maps, periodicals, and other multimedia materials
The library has also embarked on a massive digitization project to make a significant part of its collection available online. In addition, FHL partners with government and private groups to develop community libraries and support literacy through the OurLibrary program.
