Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss library inventories of Bernardines, Dominicans, Carmelites and Piarists from the present Central Poland in the 17th and 19th centuries and to show their importance as the basic source for recreating old libraries. The inventories of the first three orders and the Piarists from Wieluń concern monastery libraries, while the Piarists’ inventories from Łowicz say about books in the faculty school run by monks. Inventories of this orders occur in orders’ archives in Cracow and in Diocesan Archive in Wloclawek.
