The Digital National Library of Chile is a platform created by the National Library of Chile on August 19, 2013, [1] on the occasion of the bicentennial of the National Library [2] and seeks to "collect, preserve and disseminate" [3] the information, knowledge, and intellectual production created in Chile in digital support, through the legal deposit law, allowing the integration of the digital services of the National Library, generating a transfer between users who consult analog collections to the digital consultation of the collections, without geographical or temporal limits.
