Reprography

Please note: You can take photos for free in the Main Reading Room and the New Serials Reading Room. However, you must ask the librarian on duty first. You may use your own camera, but without extra lighting. These photos cannot be published or exhibited. The librarian on duty may refuse permission if they consider that the condition of the item does not permit it to be photographed.

The rules governing the copying of the Ossolineum’s collections are set out in detail in the

Regulations on the Use of the Collections of the Ossolineum National Library (in Polish)
