The Sejm Library began operating in the fall of 1919. The motion of 18 Deputies of a people’s party (PSL „Piast”) submitted to the Marshal of the Sejm in March 1919 is considered its articles of association. The nucleus of the Library’s collection were collections of books on law and politics as well as collections of regulations from various institutions, which ceased to exist with the establishment of the Polish State (e.g., National Department of Galicia, Governorship in Lviv, Provisional Council of State, former Poznań Regency), as well as donations of private persons. During the twenty years of the interwar period the Sejm Library was directed by Henryk Kołodziejski — an economist by education, librarian and social activist by passion. Thanks to his efforts, until 1939 about 80 000 volumes of thematically selected books and periodicals had been gathered. In 1931, Library and Archive of the Sejm and Senate were established. Based on the Library’s structure, organizing and collecting of the permanently increasing archival resources were begun. Also, publishing as well as analytical and expert activity was conducted, realized by two departments established that year: legal and socio-economic departments. During the Second World War, the book collections were transferred to Berlin by the nazis, while periodicals and archival materials were almost totally destroyed. After the war, no more than 11–12% of the books taken out of the country were returned. Under the communist rule, thanks to librarians’ efforts the theretofore applied profile of acquiring collections was maintained, although concessions had to be made for the benefit of the classic authors of Marxism and Leninism. However, a permanent exchange of parliamentary materials was maintained (also with the western states). The influx of foreign publications, both non-serial and serial publications was also significant. After the breakthrough of 1989 the nonsenses of the former period were liquidated — the prohibited books section was eliminated, the number of foreign publications increased. In order to perfect the collecting profile, bibliometric research was carried out and finally, all the library processes had been successfully comprehensively automatized (ALEPH system), as well as the Library’s own information-search vocabulary was developed, based on EuroVoc thesaurus. Digitalizing the complete set of Polish parliamentary documentation and producing microfilm backup copies of legal acts solely existent in the digital form supplement the image of the modern Sejm Library.
