    The project „Conservation and Restoration of the Personal Book Collection of Matas Strašunas“ is completed

    Naujienos iliustracija

    The two-year project “Conservation and Restoration of the Personal Book Collection of Matas Strašunas”, implemented by the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, was completed on 1 October. The aim of the project was to restore and conserve the personal print collection of M. Strashun (1640 items) over a period of two years and to open it to readers and researchers. Matas Strašunas (Mattityahu Strashun, 1817-1885), an eminent Jewish scholar, a renowned bibliophile, an avid collector, a patron and one of the most influential members of the Jewish community in Vilnius, bequeathed his unique collection of printed books to the Jewish community in an effort to preserve it and to establish the first public library in the Jewish Community. This unique documentary heritage, which survived the Second World War, was not accessible to researchers and readers due to its poor condition.
