The Silesian Cabinet, organised thanks to the efforts of Professor Antoni Knot and Zofia Gostomska, was the first branch of the University Library to open in Wrocław. Its creators came to the Lower Silesian capital in May 1945 to secure and develop research facilities for Polish scholars resettled there and for incoming students. The unique specialty of the Silesian Cabinet — collecting unconventional library material, mainly jobbing prints and occasional publications — could have resulted from a variety of factors, e.g. desire to expand the collection of Silesian items, including Polish ones, found in the German collections that were being reviewed at the time, or a need to preserve all printed sources of information that could be used to reconstruct the practical dimension and the scale of forced post-war migrations and their social consequences.

Within the framework of its statutory informative operations the Wrocław University Library has from its beginning collected unconventional library items: Lower Silesian jobbing and occasional prints. The original collection was assembled for the benefit of the Wrocław academic community and its beginnings date back to 1945. Documents published in 1945–1946 depict in great detail the difficult, turbulent process of settlement in the Western Territories and building of a new Polish community in Lower Silesia. Jobbing and occasional prints constitute a unique part of the local cultural heritage; they are valuable and prominent reminders of local history, original sources of information and interesting research subjects for many fields of science. The collection assembled in the Wrocław University Library gives contemporary residents of Lower Silesia a sense of being “rooted” in their local homeland, and makes them aware of historical continuity and regional affiliation.
