He is most famous for his collection of journalistic literature which, after the vicissitudes of war and Laurin's death, became part of the library of the present-day Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University. In its time, the journalistic library earned great renown, among other things, thanks to the seven printed catalogues that Laurin published in 1931-1937 as bibliophile prints. In addition to Bohemian books, the library as a whole, and especially its historical collection of prints up to 1860, contains mostly foreign literature of German, French, English, Swedish, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Hungarian and other print provenience.
