Princes Czartoryski Library, Research library in Czartoryski Museum, Kraków, Poland.

The Princes Czartoryski Library contains over 224,000 items, including rare manuscripts, historical documents, and books published before 1800 within its collection.

Princess Izabela Czartoryska established the library in 1796 to safeguard Polish literature during a period when the nation faced political instability and foreign occupation.

The library maintains medieval manuscripts, including the Annales seu cronicae incliti Regni Poloniae from the 15th century and correspondence from Copernicus and Beethoven.

Located on Św. Marka Street in Kraków, the library restricts access to researchers and requires advance registration for consulting its extensive collection.

The collection includes 200 medieval manuscripts and 80 illuminated manuscripts, along with letters from early United States presidents and European literary figures.
