The Presidential Library of Azerbaijan has taken an important step by incorporating AI technology into its operations.
Azel News I will report it.
This move is in line with the strategic goals set by President Ilham Aliyev at the February 11, 2026 meeting on the unified action plan “Azerbaijan’s New Digital Architecture” as Azerbaijan continues its digital transformation.
Initially, this innovation will be implemented in the library’s virtual collection called “Literary Heritage” and will be the first step towards applying artificial intelligence-based solutions on the presidential library’s digital platform.
According to the vision development plan, the application of artificial intelligence technology will be expanded in stages. In the future, this innovative approach will also be applied to rare book funds, art collections, and other areas.
Subsequently, the Presidential Library will systematically utilize the capabilities of artificial intelligence in various areas of its activities.
This approach, in addition to making the library’s information products more interesting and accessible, will form an important experience in the application of digital technologies in cultural and educational institutions of Azerbaijan and will contribute to the presentation of the national intellectual heritage in a modern form.
The Library of the Presidential Secretariat of the Republic of Azerbaijan was established in 2003 by merging two existing libraries: the Baku Central City Library (formerly Lenin Library) and the Library of the General Services Department of the Presidential Palace (formerly Library of the Institute of Political Education).
The library’s collection includes rare books in various languages from the 16th century to the early 20th century. This collection focuses on topics such as economics, politics, nation-building, law, philosophy, statistics, history, literature, and linguistics.
The library also has a collection of 250 Azerbaijani and foreign magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals.
