Początki funkcjonowania biblioteki Towarzystwa Gospodarczo-Rolniczego Krakowskiego (od końca lat 40. XIX wieku do 1862 roku)
Journal Title: Biuletyn Biblioteki Jagiellońskiej - Year 2015, Vol 65, Issue
Abstract
In the library of the Imperial-Royal Cracow Economic and Agricultural Society, whose humble beginnings originated in 1845, 1170 items were gathered until 1 January 1862. In detail, this collection consisted of 1826 volumes and 18 fascicles. The library was situated in the premises of the Society in Szewska street, 4. Thanks to acquisitions and donations, the collection proliferated, and the range of subjects of the items was not limited to topics strictly connected with agriculture. Despite the systematic increase in the number of members of the Society (in February 1862 there were 753 of them), the number of users of the library varied in the 1850s, and 1861 balance sheet showed only 19 persons who borrowed 109 items. This decline in the popularity of the library could have been caused by language barriers (as the major part of the books was written in German), as well as by the fact that it was less practical than agricultural exhibitions and seed sales in the office of the Society. Its activities, like those of the whole Society, were additionally undercut by the January Uprising, which began shortly afterwards.
