Abstract

The paper deals with the description of work of renowned librarian and intellectual Matko Rojnić. Born in 1908 in Medulin, Rojnić stood out as a young intellectual in the early thirties of last century in Zagreb. He was of antifascist belief and had signifi cant organizational skills. Firstly he will be remembered as an unavoidable fi gure of Croatian post-war librarianship, alpha and omega of almost all important initiatives and progress in that fi eld. From 1945 he was the director of Zagreb University Library in which he worked until his retirement in 1976. Besides librarianship, Rojnić was also good at work in state committees formed after the war in order to return the cultural heritage taken from the country.
