Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present – from the perspective of the collected sources – the activities of the Library of count Wiktor Baworowski Foundation. The paper may contribute to the reconstruction of the library space, along with its equipment and activities (e.g., renovation works or purchase of furniture) conducted there to protect the book collection. The Baworovianum archives serve as a source, offering a new look at the functioning of the institution. In addition, the analysis and compilation of individual data provide information about the library’s cooperation with external bodies. The selection and review of sources made it possible to outline and systematise a number of issues previously not addressed by researchers. Those related to the work carried out also by the librarians in one of the most important foundation libraries in Lviv and Poland.
