Abstract

The article describes the structure and some of the materials from the Seraia Shapshal collection at the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. The author analyses the content of all seven sections of the collection – the collection mostly contains materials from the time when Shapshal was resident in Poland and Lithuania (1928-1961). However, we can also find here – although to a lesser degree – materials from his student days (1898–1899), from his years in Persia (1900–1908), and from the 1908–1919 period, as well as from his stay in Turkey (1920–1928). The material examined in the article provides some insights into the life of S. Shapshal and allows us to verify some facts from his biography.
