The Library was established by a decree, released by the Empress Maria Theresa in 1774: 637 books, spared by the fire in the previously dissolved Jesuit college,
were transferred to the newly established library of the Ljubljana Lyceum, and henceforth intended for public use. The Lyceum Library was legally entitled to receive
legal deposit copies from the province of Carniola as early as 1807. During the French occupation this privilege covered the entire Illyrian provinces. In 1850,
simultaneously with the elimination of the Lyceum, the Library became the Main Reference Library of the province, intended for study and research.
In 1919, after the World War I, it was renamed the State Reference Library, thus becoming the main library of Slovenia with the privilege to receive legal deposit
copies from that area. In 1921 the Library became the State Library and legal deposit copies from all administrative regions of Yugoslavia started to pour in. With
the foundation of the first Slovenian university in Ljubljana (1919), the Library took on functions and tasks of the university library; The Library was named
University Library in 1938, according to regulations of both the University Act and General University Decree.
In 1941 the University Library moved into a new monumental building, situated in the immediate vicinity of the University. After the Liberation (1945) the University
Library was legally recognised as the Slovenian national library, so it was again renamed National and University Library in Ljubljana.
