This study results from the constant need of space that libraries face when, after a careful selection, take collections out of their active spaces in order to place new materials and technologies. These collections still have their historical and cultural value and because of that, must not be definitely discarded. The main aim of this study is to be an influence in decision-making at the information units at several Brazilian federal universities, but specially at the Library System at Federal University of Pelotas, regarding storage and accessibility issues regarding collections selected by chopping processes. The proposal here is the creation of the Retrospective Library, with an adequate policy which respects the importance of historical research and preserving bibliographic memory of the cultural heritage that one day composed the university collections and should not be discarded. The main focus is on retrospective research, but we are still attentive to the modern information research tools, allowing researches and future generations to access both historical and retrospective information and new technologies and virtual content from the whole world. Analysis was done through a survey used to collect data. Results showed that 88,9% of the libraries at federal universities in Brazil do not have a good space for storing the studiedcollections in an organized way. In Southern Brazil, 83,3% of the libraries analyzed do not have this space and among them, 60% have already considered creating it without ever putting it into action. Because of that, we believe that creatingsuch a space would be very important for preserving the bibliographic cultural heritage of this institution
