What are some old, special and well protected books called?

I am translating a text into English about library guidelines concerning protecting protected documents, i.e. non -public information. I am translating a text into French about “protected documents”. Books of the first century. 1729. I wonder if I can use “protected documents” for these kind of materials or if there is another, more appropriate term for them.

As mentioned by Hot Licks, “Rare Book Section” is current usage and the books you mention are, therefore, “rare books”

In the Rare Book Section of libraries one may find rare and very old editions, and some or most of them may not be accessible to the general public.

You are looking for the formal terms from Library Science of Reserve or Reference. Reference is the most protected. Is there proof or a documentation that uses it?

The Reference desk is located near the Information Commons computer lab and is available on Wednesdays for free if you are from the Chicago area. Reference books are for library use only and may not be checked out.

“DVC Reserves” books and textbooks used in current classes and have a greater checkout period than regular books. Discueils and reminders can be found at the Circulation and Reserves Desk, around the entrance of the library. 3-hour reserve books are for library use only and 1 day reserve books may be taken outside of the library.
