Strengths unique collection and never seen before historical value no overload in libraries which are barely

used libraries are frequently visited unprecedented

SWOT-analysis (2)

Weaknesses unprecedented no former attention to heritage at the

K.U.L. low budget due to the relative indifference 'just' a pilot project time constraints no demand
