Since 2002 in Venezuela, creation of digital libraries has been discussed and promoted in order to diffuse the historical, cultural, audiovisual, and scientific–academic heritage. Projects such as "El Zulia en el Tiempo" and "Luces de Bolívar" treat cultural and historical matters; "Artistas Populares del Estado Sucre" works on audiovisual legacy; and in the scientific–academic areas are represented by the index "SciELO-Venezuela", both the index and the digital library of "Revistas Venezolanas de Ciencia y Tecnología (REVENCYT)", and the Digital Library of Venezuelan Theses (BDTV). This article will focus on the last two mentioned projects of the scientific–academic area, in the case of REVENCYT for being the first to be completed with the participation of research and academic institutions, and in the case of BDTV, for offering the greatest amount of contents. REVENCYT has approximately 8776 full text articles and the BDTV has approximately 22,240 theses, undergraduate and graduate projects from eight national universities.
