Slovak National Library, National library in Martin, Slovakia
The Slovak National Library in Martin is a major collection housing millions of books, documents, and art objects. The building offers reading rooms, digital services, and archives where visitors can explore historical sources.
Founded in 1863, this institution began collecting Slovak texts and Slavic documents. A restructuring in 2000 modernized the facilities and expanded access to digital resources.
The Literary Museum section displays works and objects that shaped writing in Slovakia. Visitors can see how the literary tradition developed over time through the displayed materials.
Visitors aged 15 and above can obtain a library card on site to access reading rooms and digital services. Staff can help navigate microfilm collections and guide you through the various sections.
A major digitization project between 2012 and 2015 preserved over 2.5 million cultural objects from the Slavic collections. This work made rare and fragile materials accessible online for research and study.
