Księgozbiór Biblioteki Polskiej w Rumunii w zbiorach Biblioteki Śląskiej (PDF 1,66 MB)

Abstract

The article presents the history and book collection of the Polish Library in Romania founded by Julian Ksawery Łukaszewski, a physician and emigrant after the January Uprising. The Polish Library
functioned in Romania in the years 1866–1892, then it was transferred to the Upper Silesian Literary Society in Bytom, later transformed
into the Society of Friends of Science in Silesia (TPNS). In 1934, the
Romanian library together with the TPNS collection was transferred to the Library of the Silesian Parliament, but only a fragment of it
was catalogued and included in the book collection before the war.
The article is accompanied by a catalog of copies of Romanian provenance, which after the war were included in the Protected Book Collections and were catalogued many years later.
