Ivica ZVONAR

Abstract

On the basis of the extent records of the Croatian Theological Academy Committee’s meetings and the reports of the Katolički list (Catholic newspapers) about the Academy’s general meetings author of this article analyzes history of the Library of CTA. The work of this library, which was founded as a professional library, and its librarians – according to the extant sources – can be traced in the period between 1925 and 1944. In this period library had four
librarians, who were not professionals but only the professors of the Theologian Faculty. During this period library had many problems: insufficient funds, inadequate personnel, and lack of adequate space. After the termination of the CTA in 1945, the library became a part of the Archiepiscopal Ordinary in Zagreb, and later a part of the library came to the Catholic Theology Faculty in Zagreb.
