Abstract

The Library of Saint Peter in Gallicantu has had an eventful history and different phases of classification. It was constituted by the contribution of various private libraries of Religious of the Holy Land. Its history is intimately linked to the Assumptionist presence in Jerusalem. The computerization work carried out from 2018 onwards made it possible to clarify the classification framework based on Dewey's decimal classification and to use the databases - Wikidata, VIAF - to improve the BNF catalogue.
