Sejm Library

The Sejm Library is a research facility in Warsaw that gathers laws, legal texts, and parliamentary materials. Its collections serve Parliament members, scholars, and the public seeking information about legislation and political processes.

The library was founded in 1919 after Poland regained independence and began collecting materials about the new state. During World War II, it lost a major portion of its original collection, though parts were later recovered.

The library holds records that show how Parliament works and documents Poland's legislative traditions. Visitors can see how the institution serves as a living archive of the country's democratic processes.

The facility offers reading spaces and provides access to digital resources for those researching parliamentary materials. Plan a visit during regular hours and check beforehand if there are any access requirements.

The collection includes materials from the Polish Left Archives added in 1991, preserving socialist perspectives on the country's development. These items offer insight into alternative viewpoints on Poland's political history.
