ENThe aim of the article is to give a general overview of the origin of national bibliography at the Vilnius University Library and to discuss the process of preparation of retrospective analytical bibliography, its development tendencies and current situation at the Vilnius University Library more comprehensively. Vilnius University was one of the first institutions of higher education in Europe, where the course on bibliography was started at the beginning of 19th century. The first lecturer of the course was Alexander Viktor Bohatkiewicz (1795-1832/1833). Vilnius University Library has venerable traditions of preparing national retrospective bibliography. Retrospective bibliography activities are associated with the name of the academician, professor, book historian and bibliographer, Vilnius University Library director Vaclovas Biržiška (1884-1956). The fundamental work which has not lost its significance up to the present day is "Lietuvių bibliografija" (Lithuanian Bibliography), a national retrospective bibliography (four volumes with supplements), compiled and published in the interwar Lithuania. The idea of preparation of Lithuanian national retrospective bibliography has been continuously fostered in the interwar Lithuania. The article deals with a complicated history of preparation of analytical retrospective bibliography until restoration of independence with reference to the material of national conferences, resolutions of the State Joint Commission on Libraries, ideas of outstanding bibliographers and cultural figures.In 1991 bibliographers of Vilnius University Library issued the first annual of analytical retrospective bibliography "Lietuviškų periodinių leidinių publikacijos" (Lithuanian Periodical Publications), embracing periodical press of 1904, dealing with subjects of Lithuania. This edition started a new stage of compilation of national bibliography in the Republic of Lithuania-publication of annuals of analytical retrospective bibliography. Throughout the fifteen years of the Independence period, nine annuals of bibliography were prepared and published: four of them are devoted to Lithuanian periodical press in Lithuania, five annuals - to Lithuania Minor. By March 2, 2002 according to the Resolution of the National Retrospective Bibliography Board of Editors "Concerning further preparation of Series С of Lithuanian Bibliography Lithuanian Periodical Publications'' the Vilnius University Library was committed a task to compile bibliographic annuals of Lithuanian periodical publications in Lithuania Minor of 1904-1927. In 2005 the Vilnius University Library started creating the Lithuanian Periodical Publications Retrospective Bibliography Database. The ALEPH publishing subsystem software was prepared as well.
