A contribution to the history of Poznań Council Library
Abstract
The article recalls the events surrounding the issuing of the emergency appeal
launched by the municipal authorities of the town of Poznań in 1874 for handing
over books, journals and pamphlets to the Council Library. The aim behind the
appeal was to collect as much material related to the history of the region and the
contemporary issues of the areas that belong to the then Grand Duchy of Poznań
as possible. On the basis of the analysis of the contents of the library Catalogue
from the year 1883, i.e. the date when the effort was completed, one can say that,
to a certain degree, the appeal led to a successful completion resulting in a quantitative
development o f the resources. However, the author also points at the qualitative
shortcomings in the ensuing growth of the collections. The employed analysis
proves that the basic task of the appeal was not fulfilled and the library created in
the process did not preserve sufficiently complete resource of works.
