Expanded with the volumes the Jesuits managed to recover from multiple locations after the re-establishment of the Order, new purchases and donations, the collection included medieval manuscripts, incunabula, old music prints, collections of the 18th-century maps, rare scholarly and scientific works, academic and school manuals from Jesuit Colleges (the oldest from the Połocko College, later opened as Połocko Academy), from missions (e.g. Minsk) and from Jesuit houses before the suppression of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit order). The collection from Chyrów surpassed, in the number of volumes, their value and its educational quality, the libraries of all secondary schools in Austrian Partition of Poland and then, after Poland regaining independence, in the [Second Polish Republic]. At the time of the Soviet invasion of Poland (1939) the Library at the Jesuit Institution for Scholarship and Education consisted of over 50 000 volumes. In 1939 the Institution was liquidated by the Soviet authorities and the book collection destroyed.
