1. Ossolineum

   The Ossolineum or the National Ossoliński Institute (Polish: Zakład Narodowy im. Ossolińskich, ZNiO) is an historic cultural foundation and publishing house located in Wrocław, Poland since 1947, second only in size to the ancient Jagiellonian Library in Kraków. It is an archival institute and research centre of national and international significance. Its publishing arm is the oldest continuous imprint in Polish since the early 19th century. Both institutions bear the name of their founder, Polish magnate, Count Jozef Ossoliński (1748-1826). Although their origin may be traced to the foreign imposed partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century, the institute's actual history dates from 1817 in the former Polish city of Lwów, then known as Lemberg, capital of Galicia, a province of the Austro-hungarian empire, (now Lviv, Ukraine). The institute first opened its doors to the public in 1827. Ossoliński's purpose was not only to establish a library with archival and other historical materials and a printing works as a basis for the most important Polish national cultural institution at a time when sovereign Poland did not exist, but also to disseminate information to the Polish population through publishing as a means of maintaining cultural ties.Due to continued existential ordeals provoked by two world wars and other military and political conflicts, such as the ethnic cleansing of the Polish population of the Kresy borderlands after the annexation of one third of Poland's landmass in 1939, much of the library and other collections were plundered, scattered or deliberately destroyed. Barely one third of the artefacts and printed items from the Ossolineum made it to Wrocław after World War II. However those items which survived, did so thanks to the heroic dedication of staff, not least, Mieczysław Gębarowicz.Since its westerly relocation in 1947 the Ossolineum's Polish department has become the most extensive in the country as it strives to complete a record of the whole Polish scientific and literary oeuvre. It is the repository of manuscripts of some of the foremost Polish scientists, writers and poets, including: Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, Jan Kochanowski, Adam Mickiewicz, Adam Asnyk, Jan Kasprowicz, Władysław Reymont, Stefan Żeromski, Juliusz Słowacki and in particular, Henryk Sienkiewicz whose chief publisher it has been. The ZNiO departments are: the Ossolineum Library (1816), the Lubomirski Museum (1823), Ossolineum Publishers (1827), the Pan Tadeusz Museum.
