Library history is a subdiscipline within library science and library and information science focusing on the history of libraries and their role in societies and cultures. [1] Some see the field as a subset of information history[2] Library history is an academic discipline and should not be confused with its object of study (history of libraries): the discipline is much younger than the libraries it studies. Library history begins in ancient societies through contemporary issues facing libraries today. [3] Topics include recording mediums, cataloguing systems, scholars, scribes, library supporters and librarians. [4]
