From Restoration to Heritage: Robbrecht and Daem Architects’ Archive Moves to the Boekentoren
Robbrecht and Daem Architects entrust their archive to Ghent’s iconic Boekentoren.
De ‘Section Gantoise’ of 'Gandavensia' is een verzameling waarin alle stukken terechtkomen die verband houden met Gent. Handschriften, drukken, iconografische stukken, tot complete privéverzamelingen vormen het papieren geheugen van de stad.

Heritage Day took place at 2025 on Sunday 27 April. This year the theme was sports and games. We made a selection from our various heritage collections documenting Ghent's diverse sports history. You can find a reference of the presented collection here.
Virginie Loveling was 78 when World War I broke out. From day one, she kept a diary as a curious, opinionated witness. After her death, the manuscript, along with other ego documents, was deposited in the Ghent University Library. The war diary was recognised as a Flemish Masterpiece and is one of the 52 masterpieces in our heritage collection.
