Summary/Abstract: The article is a part of the graduation thesis made for the additional undergraduate studies of Library Science at the Department of Information Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. The library of the Jesuit Mission in Petrovaradin represents a valuable entity of cultural-historic heritage. The library has not yet been fully analyzed or presented in public. Considering its great value, it hasn’t been given enough attention. This article is aimed at critical research of the past and present condition of the Jesuit library in Petrovaradin. It will attempt to clarify the complex circumstances related to the establishment and development of the Mission, covering the period from the arrival of the Jesuits to Petrovaradin in the 17th century up to the abolishment of the Order in 1773. After the abolishment of both the Order and the Mission the fund of the library has been neglected, thus different parts of it are nowadays kept in various libraries.
