The National Library of Cambodia was moved from its original seat at Wat Ounalom to this purpose-built colonial building in 1924. Along with many other academic and religious institutions, the library was sacked by the Khmer Rouge in 1975. Today the collection includes some 100,000 titles in Khmer, French and English, although only a small fraction of these are available in the reading room to which foreign visitors have access. A collection of historical palm-leaf manuscripts is in the process of being restored in collaboration with experts from the the United States.
