It comprises books, journals, pamphlets, proceedings and other printed material documenting the history, philosophy, rituals, symbolism and cultural impact of Freemasonry in Belgium and beyond.

In addition to its library collections, Liberas also preserves the archives of several Masonic lodges from Ghent.
