Very few people have access to the Vatican Secret Archive, as only scholars over the age of seventy-five are permitted to study the archives. When they are authorized, academics enter the Vatican Secret Archive through an entryway guarded by the Swiss military.
These scholars can access three pre-requested documents per day, no more. Technically, the owner of this secretive library is the Pope, as he owns it until he either dies or resigns. Then, ownership transfers to his successor.
The Vatican Secret Archive is the central archive in the Vatican City for everything that concerns the church and the pope. This is no ordinary library, as it contains historical records from the church. The archives are the pope’s personal property.

We need to study the whole of history, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.
