BIBLIOTECA CIVICA: NASTANEK IN RAZVOJ MESTNE KNJIŽNICE V KOPRU DO LETA 1952 Ivan Marković Oddano: 09.02.2001 – Sprejeto: 26.03.2001 xxx članek UDK 027.3(497.12 Koper)”1850/1952”(091) Izvleček Zgodovina Mestne knjižnice v Kopru (Biblioteca Civica) ni bila še nikoli temeljito raziskana. Edini daljši prispevek, ki je o razvoju te knjižnice napisal Miroslav Pahor sicer sloni na nekaterih arhivskih virih vendar so številne ugotovitve nejasne in vprašljive. Pričujoči prispevek je nastal na podlagi analiz vseh razpoložljivih arhivskih virov in ponuja nove ugotovitve, ki v dobri meri spreminjajo dosedanja spoznanja. Mestna knjižnica v Kopru je bila uradno ustanovljena leta 1850, to je 30 let prej, kakor se je do sedaj mislilo. Knjižnica se je nahajala v Gimnaziji. Nekatera nova dognanja pa se nanašajo tudi na zadnja leta delovanja Mestne knjižnice po koncu druge svetovne. Mestna knjižnica (Biblioteca Civica) je delovala do leta 1952, ko je že bila ustanovljena nova Mestna knjižnica; Za nekaj časa sta tako v Kopru delovali kar dve mestni knjižnici.

The only considerable research about its history was done by Miroslav Pahor. His work is based on some archivial foundations but most of his views and interpretations are incorrect. This new essay is the result of the analysis of all the existing archivial data and presents new facts that replace the existing knowledge. The Civic Library in Koper was founded in 1850, almost 30 years earlier than we thought. The library took up residence in the Gymnasium. Some results of the study relate to the last period of activity of the Civic Library during and after the end of the Second World War. The Civic Library functioned until 1952, when the new Civic Library was founded. Therefore, for a short period of time two civic libraries in Koper actually coexisted.
