The Football Museum has the first public library and media resource center specialized in football in Brazil. Besides books, the center also counts on theses, articles, journals, catalogs, films, and documentaries in DVD, including Oral History interviews produced by the Brazilian Football Reference Center (CRFB). In total, there are more than 14,000 items, in a space that counts on reading benches, free wi-fi, and computers for shared use.
In a normal situation, the audience can check the physical collection in the library area, with comfort and support from the CRFB team. The digital collection is available at our Database (in portuguese only).
