The theme of this thesis is focused on the presentation of the local history collection of the Velika Gorica City Library. The thesis begins with the definition of the term public library, the presentation of its basic tasks, as well as the concept of which it is made. The next chapter continues with the historical overview of the Velika Gorica City Library but also its current state. The fourth chapter begins with the definition of the local history collection, as well as the importance of the local place. In addition, the other characteristics of the collection, such as the determination of its territories, content and type of the material, its protection, acquisition, processing, as well as its promotions, are also covered here. Following the general information about the local history collections, the next chapter of the thesis focuses on the local history collection of the Velika Gorica City Library. The last chapter, along with the hypotheses and aims, presents the research of the mentioned local history collection, which was carried out using the method of bibliographic and bibliometric analysis. The primary goal in this research was to present the local history collection analytically, so that the users of the collection can quickly find the data needed for scientific or professional research or any other purposes. Furthermore, the results of the research gave a better insight into the collection's values and disadvantages to the library staff in charge of its construction. The research yielded various data, and the most significant are the following: the most represented materials are books, the predominant language of publication is Croatian and the publishers are mostly institutions and associations. As for the authors in the collection, those with one work predominate. Most of the material was published in the last twenty years, and 23% was created outside Croatia. Finally, recommendations are given for the the type of local history materials with which the library could improve its collection.
