Selected book collections in the Grodno State Historical and Archaeological Museum

Abstract
The article presents the book collection of the Grodno State Historical and Archaeological Museum, which preserves one of the richest historical collections of books in Belarus. Its origin dates back to the 1920s. The Museum acquired the book collection from the library of the former Dominican monastery in Grodno, the collection of Wandalin Pusłowski and his daughter Marta Krasińska from Swisłocz. Also there are books which keep traces of ownership by members of the Potocki, Ciecierski, Ossoliński, Bisping, Narbutt families, of Kazimierz Lenartowicz and priest Kazimierz Kontrym from Werejki. The lack of the Museum’s interwar era archives makes it difficult to reconstruct their history in details, but a lot of interesting information is based on the analysis of the provenance of books.
