This chamber is located on the first floor of the Library building and it is a small room with furniture brought from the last apartment of Fr. professor, thus reflecting the nature of his work and life.

The collection includes maps, chemical reagents, family heirlooms, photographs, draft papers and correspondence, as well as prints of press and scientific articles. There are also his personal belongings, such as: an umbrella, leather briefcases, glasses, alarm clock, candles, pens and pencils, business cards and items that he used in numerous field work.

The collection of memorabilia related to the priest's profession includes, among others cassock with a collar, paintings of the Virgin Mary that adorned the walls of his apartment and devotional items. The Chamber also holds the professor's birth and baptism certificates, ID cards, military book, diplomas of recognition and numerous posters of lectures and retreats announced by him.

Much of his private correspondence is also stored. Archaeological, geo- and palaeontological exhibits placed in showcases constitute only a small part of the specimens collected by him, collected mainly during works in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains and in their vicinity. These exhibits were used as illustrations for his books.
