- The libraries-information services are identified as the treasuries of knowledge, intellectual heritage, scientific research and historical evidence. At the same time, libraries - information services diachronically seem to be the “great victims” of socio-political crises and environmental destructions. The increasing number of natural disasters in Europe during the Second World War illuminated both the vulnerability and the lack of preparedness to the protection of cultural heritage. As a result, needs assessments were carried out, manuals were written and regional co-ordination programmes initiated in order to face future disasters. This paper examines the theoretical background of disaster management in Libraries and Information Services; meanwhile it provides a historical overview as well as contemporary perspective of libraries’ disasters.
