European scientific and technical achievements from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century (new window)

European scientific and technical achievements from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century preserved in the CUT Library collection and disseminated in the digital environment.

The exhibition venue: Main Reading Room, duration:  25 March - 31 July 2019.
Selected publications from two collections of the CUT Library were presented at the exhibition. There were the Lviv collection and the Polish and foreign prints issued until 1918. The most valuable prints - historical works in the field of technical sciences were presented in thematic groups. Their artistic and typographical values had also been exposed. The exhibition was enriched with unique copies of publications with interesting provenances, authors' dedications, ex-libris, stamps, handwritten signatures and notes.

The book collection presented at the event is an important, though not always appreciated, source of knowledge about the historical and cultural heritage of the European society at the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition was an incentive to explore these collections in the digital version.

We invite you to view the virtual exhibition (new window).
