History
Central Scientific Library started functioning as a Bibliography Bureau under “Azerbaijan Society of Research and Investigation” (“Azərbaycanı Tədqiq və Tətəbbö Cəmiyyəti” ATTC) with initiative and support of prominent Azerbaijani intelligentsia – Nariman Narimanov, Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, Taghi Shahbazi, Hanafi Zeynalli and others in 1924. The “Bibliography Bureau” (1924) established under the guidance of outstanding literary-bibliographer, Professor Alexander Vasilyevich Baqriyin was the primary basis for the formation of CSL. It was made decision regarding establishment of Library at the meeting held by “Azerbaijan Society of Research and İnvestigation” in November 1923 and since that time Scientific Library has started functioning under the Society. At that time, the library collection consisted of 430 copies of books and 1200 pieces of precious manuscripts. In August, 1925, in order to prevent the reiteration in activities of the scientific library of the Society and Bibliography Bureau, it was established “Library-Bibliography Bureau” by uniting the Library of the Society with the Bibliography Bureau. Hanafi Zeynalli (1896-1938) - became a Chairman of the Bureau. The first steps towards the establishment of the Central Library were carried out in the years of 1923-1924. In 1945, in connection with establishment of independent Academy of Sciences, the new development phase started in the history of The Central Scientific Library. ANAS Central Scientific Library was called Fundamental Library in 1963-1984. Since 1984, the Fundamental Library has been called Central Scientific Library.

Referring to the 54th item of the Article 5 of Charter of ANAS approved on a decree on January 4, 2003 of President of Azerbaijan Republic Heydar Aliyev, the Central Scientific Library (CSL) got the status of scientific institution. In 1925, the Central Scientific Library (CSL) established under the guidance of Hanafi Zeynalli in 90 years, became one of the country's largest libraries and played an irreplaceable role in the development of a science and in the training of scientific personnel.
