Abstract

This article presents the pre-war director of the University Library in Poznań, Prof. Aleksander Birkenmajer, to commemorate this year’s 50th anniversary of Birkenmajer’s death. Prof. Birkenmajer took the reins of the University Library in March 1939, shortly before the outbreak of WW II. During the occupation, Birkenmajer was released of his duties and did not see his co-workers for a number of years. He came back to the Library in March 1945 to re-establish and commence regular duties of the institution between 1945–1947. The present article is based on the archival materials currently kept in the Archives of the University Library in Poznań.
