Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences

The Wroblewski Library is a research library in Vilnius that houses manuscripts, books, maps, and periodicals arranged across several departments and reading rooms. The holdings include physical materials and digital resources accessible through a comprehensive catalog and specialized databases.

Tadeusz Wroblewski founded the library in 1912 as a private collection and it later became part of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. This institutional affiliation transformed it into a major center for preserving and sharing scholarly knowledge.

The collection preserves early musical manuscripts and autographs that document how Lithuanian scholars and artists shaped knowledge and culture over centuries. These materials reflect the intellectual life of the nation across different periods.

The library offers five reading rooms and specialized digital resources with a comprehensive online catalog for searching materials. Visitors should plan ahead to identify which departments match their research interests, since collections are organized by subject focus.

The collection includes rare materials from disbanded societies and nationalized institutions that survived periods of historical upheaval. These documents provide insights into aspects of Lithuanian history that would otherwise be difficult to document.
