Fotografinis palikimas Vilniaus viešojoje bibliotekoje ir Senienų muziejuje

ENThe Vilnius University Library inherited the photographic collections of the Vilnius Public Library, the Vilnius Museum of Antiquities and other institutions. The article presents a brief analysis of a selection of photographs, which were held in the collections of the Vilnius Public Library and the Museum of Antiquities (F46) and in the collection of Photographs (F82). Hundreds of photographs from the middle of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century reached the Vilnius Public Library and the Museum of Antiquities in different ways: mostly through purchases and donations. The authors and the owners of the early photographic collections, the periods and places where they were taken and other circumstances are presented in the article. Comprised of different collections, albums and individual photographs, some of these photographs are still waiting for research attention. [From the publication]
