The manuscripts collection was initiated through a donation from the Czapski family in the form of Emeryk Hutten-Czapski’s library containing over eight thousand items. Presently, after the incorporation of the collections of the Chodkiewicz family, Helena D\u0105bcza\u0144ska, Edward Goldstein, Feliks Jasie\u0144ski, Wac\u0142aw Lasocki, Adolf Sternschuss, Adam Wola\u0144ski and others, the manuscripts library boasts over 26,000 items and is classified in its entirety as part of the National Library Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The library holdings also feature works published in the first half of the 19th century. The collection mainly contains Polonica, monumental works on Polish history and legislation and the European academic legacy dating back to the period between the 16th and 19th centuries, particularly related to law, theology and science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fragile and light-sensitive relics of written works and printed materials, due to their properties, are displayed in temporary exhibitions, showcasing fragments of the collection that tell a selected thematic story. Thanks to this practice, it is possible to invite to cyclical visits and focus on different types of documents and accompanying stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
