Biblioteka-uniwersytet. Zakład Narodowy im. Ossolińskich we wspomnieniach Stanisława Wasylewskiego
Library-University. National Ossoliński Institute in Stanisław Wasylewski’s memoirs

Summary/Abstract: 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.
