History

Scientific Library of KSMU was organized simultaneously with the medical institution founded in 1930 which was on the base of the Medical faculty of Kazan State University. In the 30 years of the twentieth century due to lack of space it was not a centralized repository of the book collections.

At first the cathedral libraries formed the current library collections and served the readers. The position of the full-time librarian appeared in Kazan Medical Institution in 1934 and the head of the library in 1936. Vera K. Grave was the first head of the library until December 1955.

The space of the former clinical church on Tolstoy street was given to the library in 1939. In 1960 the funds of the Library of the Society of Kazan Physicians were transferred to it.

Since 1985 the library locates in the new building of Kazan State Medical University.
