Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum

London Borough of Barnet, United Kingdom · built 1971

Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum (Belarusian, also referred to as Skaryna Library and Skarynaŭka) in north London, England, is the only library outside Belarus to collect exclusively in the field of Belarusian studies. It was formally established as an independent institution in 1971 and is owned by a charitable trust. The library — alongside the Belarusian Catholic Mission in England, Anglo-Belarusian Society and the Journal of Belarusian Studies — had a significant role in encouraging Belarusian studies in the United Kingdom and outside Belarus in second half of the 20th century. It is named after Francysk Skaryna, a Belarusian and East-Slavonic publishing pioneer.
