The library of the Ruusbroec Society looks considerably more modern today, with the old prints and manuscripts stored in a warehouse. Only these photographs remain of the old library.
The Ruusbroec Society's collection includes glass plates by L.J.M. Philippen. Louis J.M. Philippen conducted research on beguinages. For instance, in 1912, he authored 'De begijnhoven: oorsprong, geschiedenis, inrichting' ('The beguinages: origin, history, organisation'). As part of his field research, he produced various photographs on glass plates depicting the beguinages, some of which have since disappeared, and of the beguines engaged in their daily activities such as praying and lace-making.
