National Science Library, National library in Tbilisi, Georgia
The National Science Library is a research institution with three buildings housing extensive collections of scientific literature, research materials, and technical documents in multiple languages. The buildings contain specialized sections for different scientific disciplines and serve as the central hub for scientific information in the country.
The institution was founded in 1941 as part of the Georgian Academy of Sciences and grew in 1965 with a new building dedicated to science and technology. These two phases shaped its current structure and collection focus.
The institution preserves Georgian publications through legal deposit requirements and displays exhibits about the nation's scientific progress in its museum section. Visitors experience how deeply rooted this place is in the country's identity and intellectual life.
Access to the collections typically requires registration, but visitors can usually use study areas and explore the museum section. It helps to check ahead which areas are open to the public and what materials you might need to view.
The library maintains specialized digital collections and online reference works including the Georgian Biographical Dictionary and Bibliographical Dictionary of Georgian Historical Monuments. These resources make rare and specialized information about Georgian culture and heritage accessible online.
