Collections
The collection has increased in recent years with several donations.
- In 2000, the archive and personal library of the poet José Ángel Valente (8,669 volumes) were donated. His writing is considered one of the most ambitious and deep-thinking in contemporary Spanish literature. The José Ángel Valente Chair of Poetry and Aesthetics was created in 1999, named after the writer himself, following the donation of his library to the University of Santiago de Compostela. A specific space was created on the top floor of the Philology Library to house all the donated material.
- In 2006, the family of Professor Enrique Moreno Báez donated his library (4,088 volumes) to the University, which became part of the Philology Library. Books of varied subject matter, most of them published in the 20th century and a smaller number from the 19th century. Romance and Spanish literary critic of the Generation of '27, he was a professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela from 1954 until his retirement.
- In 2008, the son of Professor Walter Haug, thanks to the mediation of Professor Víctor Millet, donated the library (4,144 volumes) of the professor at the University of Tübingen and one of the most important scholars of medieval German literature. The library contains works on epics, novels, short stories, mysticism and orientalism.
- In 2008, the library of Professor Constantino García (1,579 volumes). Philologist, founder of the Instititute of the Galician Language and of the Ramón Piñeiro Centre, worked for many years as a lecturer in the Faculty of Philology, occupying the chair of Romance Philology until his retirement.
