National Literature Centre

In addition to encouraging and facilitating research, the CNL also promotes contemporary literary output, by organising exhibitions, conferences, reading sessions and various events relating to literature in Luxembourg.

The premises were then handed over to the State of Luxembourg, who renovated the house and installed the Centre national de littérature in it.

In early 2008, the adjacent building, which is now being renovated, will house a part of the archives' storage and office facilities.

A range of Luxembourgish newspapers and reference works such as dictionaries and encyclopedias can be freely accessed in the reading room.

The CNL regularly organises exhibitions which often display manuscripts or other precious items from the archives' funds to the general public.

A list of the CNL's publications shows that the institute's research tries to reflect the ample use of each of the country's three national languages, namely Luxembourgish, French and German.
