Journal Title: Z Badań nad Książką i Księgozbiorami Historycznymi - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 0
Abstract
This article analyses Polish book collections in Ekaterinburg. The author has found such collections in four of the city’s libraries: the Sverdlovsk regional library, the Sverdlovsk regional history museum, the Central Academic Library of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Ural Law University. In the article, the history of how these collections were formed and their particularities are discussed, as are the fates of individual books. The largest collection (250 books at the Sverdlovsk regional library) has as its basis books from the libraries of the Catholic Church of St Anna and the Catholic Philanthropic Society. The foundation of the Polish collection at the Sverdlovsk regional history museum consists of books from the archive of the Ural Society for the Admirers of the Natural Sciences. This collection includes a total of 17 works: the earliest of them coming from the beginning of the 18th century. A further focused search for Polish books in the libraries of Ekaterinburg would probably result in new findings.
