The Information and Communication Technology changed the way of the National Library of Brazil to produce, use and store information, if before its collection was composed of palimpsest, papyrus, books and administrative documents on paper support, it is currently also composed for digital objects (native and digitized) such as books, magazines, newspapers, music, photographs, administrative documents among others; and the number of these digital objects are growing every day. Therefore, the research evaluated and analyzed the characteristics and functionalities of the software for digital repositories Archivematica, DSpace and RODA in order to identify the most suitable for the management and preservation of bibliographic materials and archival documents of the National Library of Brazil. The organizational structure of the National Library of Brazil and the specialized bibliography were reviewed; The softwares selected were analyzed using a quantitative criterion based on the functionalities they fulfill. DSpace was the one that presented the best result, fulfills 92% of the selected functionalities. In second place is RODA, with a level of satisfaction of 77% and lastly is Archivematica, with 62%.
