The Library of the Municipal History Museum in Pilsen, which in 1950 became the basis for the stock of the then newly established State Research Library, currently contains closed stock of about 134\u00a0000 volumes. This stock contains six\u00a0first editions and around 3\u00a0000 old editions; about a third of the stock dates back to the 19th\u00a0century, while two thirds was printed in the first half of the 20th century. The stock is of a universal nature, though belles-lettres is represented only peripherally. Of particular value is the pilsnensia section (items connected with Pilsen in terms of content, author, place of publication or printing), which contains almost 10\u00a0000 volumes.<\/p>\n
Materials issued up to 1918, pilsnensia and all periodicals are loaned onsite only.<\/p>\n
Stock is listed in the museum paper catalogues systematically and by name, in the scanned museum name catalogue<\/a> and partially in the electronic catalogue<\/a>. Both museum catalogues contain a Pilsnensia section, namely items connected with Pilsen because of their content, author, place of publication or printing.<\/p>\n Documentation of collection: Inventory no. 41<\/em>.<\/p>\n DOLE\u017dALOV\u00c1, Pavl\u00edna.
