	In the early period of its activity, the Cracow Scientific Society passed the numerous gifts it obtained to the University Library. However, since 1856 they remained in the Society and the newly established library. In the course of years the cartographic collection grew bigger; however, its size was not known until 1912 when it encompassed “760 numbers”. Undoubtedly, the atlases and maps gathered came mainly from the donations. Donors passed them from Cracow and its neighbourhood, Galicia, Lviv, Warsaw, Paris, Vienna and other places. They were librarians, booksellers, archivists, builders, members of the Cracow Scientific Society and sympathizers, common people and generals, people who cared for culture and science. All this proves that the Cracow Scientific Society extended over a vast area, far beyond the boarders of the partition and deeply anchored in the conscience of the society.
