The text mentions the 'aged scholarly institution' and summarises the expansion of the collection through 1936, with donations including 2,500 manuscripts and the Stecki and Kościa Zbirohowski family archives. The prints department was also enlarged by duplicates sent by the library of the School of Foreign Trade. It was noted that 2,600 works in 3,500 volumes were added to the collection, which adds up to a total library stock of 199,000 works in 297,000 volumes. In addition, a collection of gouaches from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, drawings by Polish post-Patejko painters and, among other things, a collection of silver tokens minted in Germany to commemorate the most valuable victories at the Polish battlefields in the Great War were sent to the Lubomirski Museum, which was merged with the Institute (Source: "Wschód", Lviv 1937, no. 38, p. 10, after: Jagiellonian Digital Library).
