The present work focuses on the library in the state castle Hrádek u Nechanic, which was owned by the noble family of Harrach since its foundation until 1945. The introductory chapters describe the history of the Harrach family, with particular emphasis on the owners of the library, the history of the building and the book collection itself. Subsequently, the fund is characterized according to its chronological and language structure. The main body of the thesis deals with a thematic analysis and a provenance survey of Hrádek's library. This includes a description of the different types of bookplates and signatures of the owners of individual books, with a special focus on Jan Nepomuk of Harrach, who signed the largest number of books in Hrádek.

Methodology for Cataloguing of the Book Provenance Records and of the Book Owners
Kašparová, Jaroslava ; Šípek, Richard
The methodology for cataloguing of the provenance notes and marks in books in the MARC 21 cataloguing format is an issue of the PROVENIO Project: The Method of Book Provenance Research, which was carried out by the National Museum Library during the years 2012–2015. It briefly summarises the existing cataloguing recommendations and the basic adjustment and expansion of the MARC 21 cataloguing format, some inspired by the modifications introduced by the CERL, others proposed by the National Museum Library. The cataloguing recommendations concern both the MARC 21 cataloguing format for bibliographic records and modify some of its parts for it to be utilisable also for a detailed description of provenance notes and marks on the one hand, and on the other hand the format for authority data, which has been adjusted and expanded so as to meet the requirements on cataloguing and sufficient characteristics of the owners of books (individuals, families, corporations) and their book collections. Particular attention has been paid to the issues of linking various fields of bibliographic entries related to one particular provenance mark. The methodology further presents a controlled thesaurus for the cataloguing and description of provenance marks, which has been implemented in cataloguing systems as an authority file.
