The Ossolineum in Lviv was one of the most important scientific-cultural centres in Poland and the second largest (right behind the Jagiellonian Library) library. Since 1939 it was taken over by the Soviet and German occupying authorities. It was nationalized and reorganized. Thanks to the determination and involvement of many Polish employees of the Ossolineum the vast part of the book collection was saved from destruction and degradation. One of the people taking part in this process was Wacław Olszewicz, a librarian, excursionist, prewar ministerial clerk who spent the postwar period in Lviv. Here he devoted his time to working with books as consecutively a librarian and bibliographer in the Ossolineum, the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union at the cost of quitting the chance of returning to Poland. He kept in touch with Polish scientists publishing his works in Polish journals. He died in 1974. He was buried on the Janowski cemetery in Lviv.

This article shows the image of the Ossolineum seen through the eyes of the authors of the Lviv guidebooks, its role in the cultural life of Galicia from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. The largest in volume and the most valuable historical information was presented in the guidebooks by S. Kunasiewicz, M. Kowalczuk, F. Jaworski, J. Wiczkowski, B. Janusz, M. Orłowicz, A. Medyński, which until today remain an important source for the history of the Ossolineum. On the basis of the guidebooks we may follow the development of the Ossolineum library and museum during almost 70 years of its functioning. The authors of monographs highly valued the Ossolineum as the treasure chest of memory and also an important national centre of science and culture.

The aim of this article is to describe the fortunes and functioning of the book collection of the Pawlikowski family created by Gwalbert Pawlikowski (1792–1852). This book collection, at first gathered in Medyka, later in Lviv, is one of the more valuable monuments of the book culture. In 1921 donated to the Ossolineum on the principle of separateness was placed outside the Polish borders after 1945. Its profile, history and fortunes are closely connected with the Polish state as a testimony of changes at first in Galicia, later in the whole country.

The sketch presents an interpretation of the memories by Stanisław Wasylewski, describing his work as a volunteer, scholarship holder, and then assistant to the National Ossolinski Institute in Lviv in 1905−1910. On canvas of those memories, a question was posed about how the mission of the library established for the protection of Polish cultural heritage of the time of annexation influenced the perception and experience of its employee. The reconstruction of Wasylewski’s ‘ossolian biography’ helped to discover the categories of the writer’s thinking about the library as a university, which is created by a community of scholars and learners, in which the most important currents of national culture cross, and thus the task of forming a man respecting cultural heritage is fulfilled.

Przedmiotem artykułu są zbiory należące niegdyś do lwowskiej Biblioteki Fundacji Wiktora Baworowskiego. W artykule przedstawiono działalność Wiktora Baworowskiego, losy zgromadzonych zbiorów po jego śmierci, a także kwestię pozostawionych we Lwowie kolekcji Bavorovianum, które w wyniku powojennej zmiany granic weszły w skład Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Biblioteki Ukrainy im. Wasyla Stefanyka. Omówiona została przede wszystkim współpraca bibliotek wrocławskiej i lwowskiej, obejmująca projekt digitalizacji pozostawionych we Lwowie polskich zbiorów. Jako przykład zdigitalizowanego i udostępnionego w internetowej bazie dokumentu pochodzącego z Biblioteki Baworowskich posłużył nieopracowany dotąd dziewiętnastowieczny kopiariusz, zawierający m.in. wiersze Anny z Mycielskich Radziwiłłowej, Franciszki Urszuli Radziwiłłowej oraz anonimowy diariusz opisujący drogę do Drezna. Poprzez zaprezentowanie zawartości dokumentu podkreślono znaczenie procesów digitalizacji umożliwiających badanie cennych manuskryptów, do których dostęp był niegdyś utrudniony.

The article is devoted to the fate of the collections which once belonged to the Lviv-based Library of the Wiktor Baworowski Foundation. It presents the activities of Wiktor Baworowski, the posthumous history of the collections that he gathered, and the question of the collections of the Bavorovianum, which remained in Lviv and which due to the post-war change of borders were incorporated into The Lviv National Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of Ukraine. The article is focused above all on the collaboration of the libraries of Wrocław and Lviv, which involved the project of the digitalisation of Polish collections which remained in Lviv. A 19th-century copiarium which heretofore was not processed, containing inter alia the poems of Anna z Mycielskich Radziwiłłowa, Franciszka Urszula Radziwiłłowa and an anonymous diarium describing the path to Dresden served as an example of a work derived from the Baworowski Library which was digitised and made accessible in the internet database. The description of its content facilitated the underscoring of the significance of the processes of digitalisation which enable researchers to study valuable manuscripts access to which was difficult earlier.

Hieronim Pinocci (1612-1676), Italian merchant, councilman and diplomat, was also an owner of the one of the most precious book collection in Poland of that time. His books, probably dispersed not long after his death, have characteristic ownerships marks (numerus currens and mottos) which make them easy to identify. The aim of the article is to present small but valuable collection of Pinocci’s books recently identifi ed by the author at the Ossolineum library.

Hieronim Pinocci (1612-1676), włoski kupiec, rajca krakowski i dyplomata, posiadał jeden z cenniejszych wówczas w Polsce księgozbiorów. Książki, prawdopodobnie rozproszone niedługo po jego śmierci, posiadają charakterystyczne znaki biblioteczne (numerus currens i motta), dzięki którym udaje je się zidentyfi kować. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie małej, lecz cennej, kolekcji Pinocciany zidentyfi kowanej przez autorkę w Ossolineum.

In 1919, the former Cistercian monastery in Krzeszów became home for German Benedictines who came from Czech Republic. Until World War II, they managed to amass an abundant library containing valuable collection of theological works. Author of the article follows the fate of this book collection, which survived World War II intact and was appropriated by the Prosecutor General’s Office in 1954, becoming a tool in repression against monastic clergy in Silesia conducted at that time by state authorities.

During his life, Wojciech Kętrzyński was a renowned and valued historian, librarian and publicist. Many obituaries and commemorations appeared in magazines and academic journals after his death. The employees of the Lviv Ossolineum made sure to preserve the memory of their director also outside the town. In Lviv, Kętrzyński has had a street and one of the reading halls in Ossolineum named after him. His poems and memoir were published, along with some commemorations dedicated to his achievements. The memory of Kętrzyński has also lasted in southern parts of Eastern Prussia. Michał Kajka translated his poems into Polish, while Emilia Sukertowa-Biedrawina in Działdowo published articles about Kętrzyński in her calendars. After 1945, as Polish borders encompassed those parts of Eastern Prussia, Kętrzyński became a reclaimant, even a warrior of Polishness. In his honour, the town of Rastenburg was renamed to Kętrzyn. He has had streets and schools named after him. The research on Kętrzyński’s activities gained momentum with the establishment of the Wojciech Kętrzyński Centre for Scientific Research (Pol. Ośrodek Badań Naukowych, OBN) in Olsztyn. Thanks to the efforts of OBN, a Polish plaque appeared at Kętrzyński’s grave, which was found by Leonard Turkowski in 1969 at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv. In 2008, the tombstone was renovated as a result of the activity of Kętrzyn authorities. When the old preWar fragment of the tombstone was found in 2016, it was returned to its proper place, while the medallion with Kętrzyński’s image was gifted by Kętrzyn authorities to the Wrocław Ossolineum. The memory of Kętrzyński in Warmia and Masuria was preserved by publishing his poems and research articles O ludności polskiej w Prusiech niegdyś krzyżackich [Eng. On Polish people in the previously Teutonic Prussia]. Numerous academic conferences confirmed the current nature of Kętrzyński’s conclusions. The Marshall of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeship established an all-Poland award in humanities named after Kętrzyński, contributing to the movement of commemorating the researcher in the region and in Poland. This paper summarises all such activities during the 100-years period since Wojciech Kętrzyński’s death.

The XIX century was the moment of the rapid development of the periodicals in Poland. On the market appeared thematic magazines dedicated to specific groups of readers, amongst them polish journals devoted to women, which began to appear almost 100 years after the European debut. The article focuses on the polish magazines for women from 1818-1914, which are part of the Ossolinski National Institut collection.

The author’s autographs in the early printed books from the collection of the Vasyl Stefanyk Lviv National Scientific Library of Ukraine can be grouped in two categories. The first one includes author’s signatures, their individual notes concerning the book, amendments and supplements to the text. These materials, quite rare in the books, are of particular importance for the researchers of the history of writing and printing. They can become an authoritative reference for dating, settling authorship of anonymous works, preparations of critical editions. The following authors are mentioned in the text: Mikołaj Bernett (1643-1710), Stanisław Brzeżański (ca 1650-1738), Tadeusz Juda Krusiński (1675-1757), Gottfried Lengnich (16891774), Ignacy Krasicki (1735-1801). The other category of author’s autographs, bigger and as precious as the previous one, includes hand-written author’s dedications. The annex to this text registers 67 Polish dedications from the 16-18th centuries. The following famous persons can be found among authors and recipients: Erazm of Rotterdam, Ercole Sassonia, Martinus Glicius of Pilzno, Andrzej Wolan, and Daniel Mikołajewski.

The Shevchenko Scientific Society is the oldest Ukrainian scientific institution that was functioning in Lviv from 1873 till 1940. After the Society’s liquidation by the Soviet government, its collections were dispersed, part of the collection during World War II was relocated to Poland, where it was divided between two institutions: the National Library in Warsaw and the Ossolineum in Wrocław. The archives of the Shevchenko Scientific Society now held at the Ossolineum contain a valuable collection of documents concern the Ukrainian history of the first half of the 20th century. Documents from the mentioned collection are of particular importance for research into the history of Ukrainian political and economic life, the literary process and the publishing movement of that period. The archive also contains important documents informing about the Polish-Ukrainian relations at that time. At the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century parts of the Shevchenko Scientific Society collections preserved in Poland became the subject of the Polish-Ukrainian revendication negotiations. Although the idea of exchanging the Ukrainian collections transferred to Poland for the the Ossolineum collections remaining in Lviv was not realized, the problem was solved by way of copying the documents and through ensuring the access to these materials for the both parties.

Towarzystwo Naukowe im. Szewczenki to najstarsza ukraińska instytucja naukowa, która funkcjonowała we Lwowie w latach 1873-1940. Po likwidacji Towarzystwa przez władze radzieckie jego zbiory zostały rozproszone, część kolekcji podczas II wojny światowej trafiła do Polski, gdzie została podzielona między dwie instytucje: Bibliotekę Narodową w Warszawie i Ossolineum we Wrocławiu. Archiwum NTSz przechowywane w kolekcji Ossolineum to cenny zbiór dokumentów źródłowych dotyczących historii Ukrainy pierwszej połowy XX w. Mają one szczególną wartość dla badań nad historią ówczesnego ukraińskiego życia politycznego i gospodarczego, procesu literackiego oraz ruchu wydawniczego. Archiwum zawiera także ważne dokumenty, które informują o stanie stosunków polsko-ukraińskich z tego okresu. Pod koniec XX – na początku XXI w. fragmenty archiwum NTSz przechowywane w Polsce stały się obiektem polsko-ukraińskich rokowań rewindykacyjnych. Mimo że pomysł wymiany ukraińskich kolekcji przemieszczonych do Polski na pozostałe we Lwowie zbiory Ossolineum nie został ostatecznie zrealizowany, problem udało się rozwiązać dzięki kopiowaniu materiałów oraz zapewnieniu pełnego dostępu do nich obu stronom.

Ossoliński National Institute (abb. ZNiO or Ossolineum) came into existence as a foundation on 4 June 1817 with the consent of the Austrian Emperor Francis I. On 25 December 1823, an agreement was concluded between Count Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński and Prince Henryk Lubomirski, who intended to combine their library and museum collections within the confines of one institution, which was to become a treasury of Polish national mementoes. According to the foundation document and the content of the agreement of 1823, the Institute was supposed to include the Library and the Museum, and a literary curator, the entailer of Przeworsk from Lubomirski family, was to keep watch over its activities (in service to the national culture). The collection of ancient coins was stored in the Ossolineum until 1944. Numerous donations of ancient coins arrived between 1828 and 1829. The two main donors of the ancient coin collection were Prince Henryk Lubomirski, who donated at least 1828 coins altogether and Count Ignacy Krasicki, the donor of 1075 ancient coins. Count Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński contributed 58 specimens, mainly denarii from the period of Roman Empire. A precious gift was handed over by the brother of Henryk Lubomirski, Prince Fryderyk Lubomirski - 7 Roman gold coins, 21 silver and l copper. Owing to these and smaller donations (49 coins), at the end of 1829 the collection contained at least 3010 specimens. In 1885, the collection of ancient coins counted already included 5608 specimens, but this apparent quantitative growth of the collection is actually related to putting the coins in order, which Wojciech Kętrzyński undertook the same year. We know much about the content of the collection thanks to the manuscripts Inventarium Musei Lubomirsciani: Numi Veteres Urbium Populorum et Regium; Inventarium Musei Lubomirsciani (Greek and other non-Roman coins); Numi Romani Consulares, Familiarum et Imperatorum (Roman Republican and Imperial coins); Ignacy Krasicki’s Opisanie Medalów Biblioteki narod. imien. Ossolińskich we Lwowie [“A Description of Medals in the National Ossoliński Library in Lwów”, all types of ancient coins] and Katalog monet rzymskich [“A Catalogue of Roman Coins”] by Wojciech Kętrzyński. From 2005 to 2006, thanks to the comparison of coins and their descriptions in Kętrzyński’s work, 2406 specimens in the Ossolineum collection in Wrocław out of 2716 specimens described in Katalog... could be identified. Numbers which Kętrzyński marked on the coins, according to collectors' practice of signing their collection as adopted in the nineteenth century and before, turned out to be of great help. Notes written down in the space Annotatio constitute an unquestionable merit of Inventarii Musei Lubomirsciani. Here we frequently meet information concerning the donor, bidder, exchange or archaeological provenance of coins. 415 Greek specimens were described in these manuscripts, including Greek Imperial, as well as Barbarian coins (Latin Numi Barbarorum) and 2603 specimens from the Roman Republic, Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire. As far as 117 Roman denarii described in Inventarii... are concerned, we have information that they come from two hoards from East Galicia: nine denarii from Bertyszów and 108 denarii from Krasiejów. These hoards were studied by Kropotkin (Bertishov and Kraseev), yet the place of their whereabouts have remained unknown to this day. Ossolineum also has a small part of the famous hoard of Boroczyce in Volhynia - 32 Roman denarii from the second century after Christ, purchased in 1928. We owe such a good level of documentation to the fact that from the start the collection of ancient coins was handled by efficient people. Count Krasicki himself was a collector and in his work he used the eight-volume work by Joseph Eckhel titled Doctrina Numorum Veterum, then the most modern work on antique numismatics. The authorship of Inventarii... still needs establishing with the help of graphological analyses, but it is an inventory that complies with scientific requirements even from today's point of view. Kętrzyński's catalogue is highly informative and still serves as the basis for identification of many Roman coins. Over 1939-1946, the Ossolineum numismatic collection went through its most difficult times. In September 1939 Lviv came under occupation of the Soviet Union, and in January 1940 the Soviet authorities set about closing down the Lubomirski Museum, distributing parts of the collection among Lviv museums remaining under the management of the Ukrainians. In July 1941 the Germans entered Lviv and the Head Department of Science and Education of the General-Gouvernement handed over control of Ossolineum to the custodian Mieczysław Gębarowicz, previously secretly sworn in director of ZNiO by the literary curator Andrzej Lubomirski. At the beginning of 1944, when the front was coming, the German authorities ordered the evacuation of that part of the collection that was important for German culture. The operation was managed by Mieczysław Gębarowicz. The most valuable part of the collection of Ossolineum, including parcels with coins hidden in the consignment by Gębarowicz himself, was conveyed in two raił shipments. The collection came first to Kraków, then to Zagrodno in Silesia (formerly Adelin, Adelsdorf), where it was deposited in outbuildings of the manor owned by Countess von Pfeil, together with the collections from other libraries of Lviv, Warsaw and Cracow. In August 1945, these collections were transported to the National Library in Warsaw. The Ossolineum collection was transported to Wrocław at the beginning of July 1946. Thanks to a huge project of manuscript digitalization, conducted since 2004 in Lviv and Wrocław, the archives of Ossolineum are going to be combined again. This fact is of the utmost importance for scholars studying the history of Ossolineum and its collection, but also for the general history of collecting practice and numismatics. It is enough to mention that one of the manuscripts digitalized is Album numizmatyków polskich (“Album of Polish Numismatists”) by Antoni Ryszard, whose importance in studies of Polish coin collecting and national numismatics is hard to overrate. This year (2008) it was placed on the website of the Dolnośląska Biblioteka Cyfrowa (“Lower-Silesian Digital Library”). The research realized within the framework of the author's doctoral thesis entitled "The collection of antique coins in Ossolineum" is to restore the coins to their history, establish the successive owners and donors or bidders of particular coins or groups of coins, and finally, reconstruct the archaeological provenance of the coins where this is possible to determine (13 figures).

August Bielowski and Dominican Sadok Barącz were connected not only by means of friendship but also common passion which was history. It is confirmed by their mutual correspondence from years 1854–1872. This text is a critical editing of the letters by both scientists with a preface and comments. This correspondence brings both historians’ scientific view closer, it shows their relations, the reality of contemporary life and it characterizes the scientific environment of Galicia at that time. It also reveals problems which both researchers had to face.
