The first known place where Jan Zamoyski’s (1542-1605) collection was kept was Zamach, the center of eldership held by Zamoyski. Due to his frequent travels and lack of fixed accommodation he would keep his book collection in several locations. That he was probably carrying the most necessary books with himself is shown by the fact that on his journey to France, he carried only statutes. Zamoyski would also gather his books in one safe and trustworthy place. Such a place could be Knyszyn, located near Tykocin, a residence of Zygmunt August, and at the same time the eldership Zamoyski received from Henryk Walezy. The earliest information regarding keeping the collection in Zamość comes from 1588. From a widely known account of Bonifacio Vanozzi we know that in the year 1596 the library was not organized and was located in one of the castle’s rooms. In correspondences with the treasurer it was repeatedly called the “shop,” a place functioning as a treasury, archive and library. A small part of Zamoyski’s book collection has survived to our times. Excluding portions originally belonging to Zygmunt August, which were taken by Zamoyski after the king’s death, 23 books and 21 manuscripts which definitely belonged to the chancellor were found. Zamoyski’s library was primarily used to help in research conducted by professors from the Zamoyski Academy, in which the chancellor passionately participated, and where furthermore a well-equipped academic press popularized research results. Zamoyski was importing books of authors in which he had an interest: he especially pursued new editions of Cicero. There are no sources confirming the effort it took to acquire such luxurious codices.

Crowdsourcing means the separation of one organization area and putting it into the hands of the crowd – an organized community in the form of an open call. This community can be created from both high class professionals and amateurs. Currently, crowdsourcing is implemented primarily in companies and NGOs. Since the implementation of solutions based on crowdsourcing is quite straight forward, it is also made use of in civic and social activities, including ventures initiated by archives, museums and libraries. This article brings the idea of crowdsourcing and examples of its mechanisms in libraries.

The article looks at post-war cultural activity of the Jewish population in Lower Silesia, focusing on the activity of the organizations representing that minority. It describes the activity of a Jewish theatre, which played an especially important role for the region's Jews, and also reviews the problems of Jewish publishing businesses and their significance to the Jewish population of Wroclaw voivodship. The article also looks as the activity of Jewish clubs, first attached to Jewish committees, then to branches of the Social and Cultural Associations of Jews (TSKZ. It describes the development and subsequent decline of the activity of amateur Jewish troupes, which contributed to the life of this community in even some tiny Jewish concentrations in the region. The last segment concerns the operations of Jewish libraries, which also flourished for a period before going into decline. All the areas of the Jews' activity are presented against the background of problems affecting that community, such as emigration, manifestations of anti-Semitism, the policies of the communist authorities.

In the process of building local communities with shared cultural values, museums, libraries and community centres are key agents in civil society. When these institutions project specific notions and ideal types of identity and citizenship, they have the potential to produce changes in people’s behaviour. It is only natural that political bodies are interested in these processes. On 16 September 2016, the Ministry of Human Capacities of the Hungarian Government launched an EU-funded project with the primary aim of strengthening social cohesion within the region. As a part of this project, we surveyed 59 professionals working in Hungarian museums, libraries and community centres, using the Delphi method, to gain insights about their capacities, needs, and visions. This article presents the results of the first round of analysis. Respondents’ answers were analysed using NVivo qualitative data analysis software, which resulted in a thematic map showing the main problems professionals in these sectors are struggling with, and highlighting the kinds of visions they had for their institutions’ future. The study clearly shows that the cultural sector is plagued by financial problems, and that there is a strong need for reform when it comes to the professional training of workers in these fields. Regarding the future, visions are centred on cultural institutions increasingly becoming community spaces, think tanks, and ideas workshops that consciously guide community formation.

In the post-1939 Slovakia, the government adopted several measures to exercise undue control over its citizens and influence their views and opinions. During World War II, a number of censorship decrees were issues which sought to control what information was made public in the press, on the radio and in movies and other artistic productions. This paper examines book censorship during that period, analysing the role of specific institutions which were tasked with excising the undesirable literary production, describing the process of „cleaning up“ libraries and looking at what works and which authors were considered unacceptable by the ruling regime, focusing on the city of Nitra.

This work surveys the development of Czech historical bibliography in the Historical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the CR since the start of the 1990s, its current research and promotes debate on its perspectives. It deals with the questions of the meaning and importance of historical bibliography in an information society. Current financial problems in the Academy of Sciences have led to the discontinuation of the publication of annual printed bibliographical bulletins. As a result of the cessation of printed resources, the problem of archival storage and how to ensure their long-term existence has arisen. For these reasons, steps were taken to convert data from the bibliographical database into the standard international exchange format which will facilitate a wider co-operation with other scientific libraries and participation in projects which might enhance the existing database of the Bibliography of History of the Czech Lands. The Bibliographical Section of the Historical Institute has in recent years established wider international co-operation with its historical counterparts in a number of European countries. Within this framework, it contributes to international databases and it also has the possibility of acquiring hard-to-access data from them.
