The closure of monastic libraries in the Wielkopolska province under Prussian rule had several stages. The first stage consisted in assessments of the size of the libraries and descriptions of their holdings. This was followed by a decision concerning the fate of the collections, which were ultimately transferred to new locations: the Royal and University Libraries in Berlin, schools in Poznań and Bydgoszcz, libraries of seminaries in Gniezno and Poznań, as well as libraries of deaneries. At each stage a key role was played by inventories and catalogues of monastic libraries commissioned by various authorities (of the Duchy of Warsaw, President of the Grand Duchy of Poznań, Royal Regions of Poznań and Bydgoszcz). First they were used to assess the state of the monasteries’ holdings. Next, the authorities made decisions on their basis about what to do with the books. In the first half of the 19th century there were three inventories compiled in monastic libraries in Wielkopolska: in 1810, 1817–1820 and in the 1830s. In the article the author discusses catalogues from these three periods, pointing to the data they contained, ways of describing books and their order, people in charge of inventory taking and their function.

The functioning of deanery libraries in Wielkopolska in the 19th century was of crucial importance to the fate of books from dissolved monasteries. The Prussian authorities decided that monastery book collections would first be divided among Berlin libraries (Royal Library, University Library) and secondary school libraries, and would then be taken over by libraries of deaneries, which began to be opened in 1835. In most cases books from former monasteries formed the core of deanery collections. Despite the initially positive reactions of the Wielkopolska clergy to the idea of establishing libraries, it turned out subsequently that the book collections were neglected, were decaying and the priests were not using them. Such a state of affairs was predicted by Rev Kazimierz Lerski in his opinion about the plan to set up deanery libraries. In addition, drawing on his own observations from dissolved monasteries, he came to the conclusion that books from former monasteries would be saved from destruction only if they were all to be collected in one place. The author of the paper discusses the arguments cited by Rev Lerski against deanery libraries and presents the fate of deanery book collections, paying particular attention to information about books from former monasteries.

Kwerenda źródłowa pozwoliła stwierdzić, że w WBP-KK znajdują się dziś szczątki dwóch zbiorów związanych z niemieckim stowarzyszeniem: kolekcji ikonograficznej Coppernicus-Verein oraz archiwum zabytków, założonego w Muzeum Miejskim w Toruniu (Städtisches Museum) w 1896 r. W artykule scharakteryzowano powyższe dwa zespoły fotografii, zarysowując również kontekst powstawania fotograficznych archiwów zabytków w muzeach niemieckich w drugiej połowie XIX w. oraz na przełomie XIX i XX w.

The text concerns a group of photographs, currently in the Special Collections Department of the Provincial Public Library - Copernican Library in Toruń (WBP-KK), associated with the German scientific society (CoppernicusVerein für Wissenschaft und Kunst) operating in the city in the second half of the 19th century. The source analysis has allowed to state that the library today contains the remains of two collections related to the German association: the Coppernicus-Verein iconographic collection and the archives of monuments, established at the City Museum in Toruń (Städtisches Museum) in 1896. The article describes the above two groups of photographs, outlining the context of the creation of the photographic archives of monuments in German museums in the second half of the 19th century and at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Throughout the 19 th century art collecting became a more and more popular human activity, not restricted as before to a small group - aristocrats, nobility, and scholars-researchers. The complex character of private collecting in the 19 th century is the reason why researchers are only attracted by its single aspects. These including first of all the collecting by new social groups: the bourgeoisie, rich industrialists, and bankers. Art historians are additionally interested in those collecting works of the new breakthrough artistic tendencies (Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Avant-Garde), therefore those who were involved in creating ‘collections looking into the future’, setting up benchmarks that future museums would aspire to. The new art was a subject of interest of Paris, Berlin, and Moscow businessmen, bourgeoisie, and financiers who promoted such values as innovation, novelty, and progress. Meanwhile, aristocracy valued other qualities more (tradition, history, past) and in those European cities (London, Cracow, Vienna) in which aristocracy held a strong position and were committed to cultural activity, collections of pieces of the new tendencies could hardly be found, or were extremely rare.
