Since its creation, the Royal Academy of the Basque Language has had a Guardianship Department, whose objectives are the dissemination of Basque, the promotion of its use, the guarantee of the quality of the language and the protection of the rights of the people who speak this language.
The Azkue Library and Archive serves Euskaltzaindia. It is also open to all researchers and it aims to foster research and support the distribution of Basque cultural issues as far as it is able.
