The [[Slovenian Museum of Natural History Library]] was established in [[established::1921]] as part of the [[Slovenian Museum of Natural History]], although it originated in 1821 as part of the Provincial Museum of Carniola. It keeps natural sciences literature (geology, palaeontology, mineralogy, biology, botany, zoology, entomology, ornithology) and general literature of over 15,000 units. The library houses rare material from the 18th and 19th century. Newer entomological literature is kept at the Entomological Department and counts over 600 monographs. Since 1998 the library is a part of [[COBISS - Slovene Virtual Library]].
