Contents of the repository
Tadeusz Reger’s Library includes about 7,000 volumes in total (including a few old prints). There are mostly works devoted to history, law, sociology, nature and silesiaca. When it comes to provenance, this book collection and an extensive archive called the Reger Files are related.
Search system
The alphabetical catalogue of Tadeusz Reger’s Library was drawn up by hand or typewritten on cards in the international format, most probably in the 1960s. Descriptions of archive materials which belong to the Reger Files can be found in the virtual catalogue of Cieszyn Library manuscripts.
The catalogue does not include the descriptions of books and magazines which were singled out from the Library of the Polish Ethnological Society when the collection of the Historic Branch of the Silesian Library was being rearranged. These books and magazines, along with similar items singled out from other historic collections belonging to the Historic Branch, were merged into separate repositories of non-serial publications and magazines. Alphabetical catalogues of both the abovementioned repositories are available in a digital version (book catalogue; magazine catalogue).
The call marks of books and magazines included in the library can be found in the top right corner of the card.
