2. History
The first libraries were only partly libraries, being composed for the most part of
unpublished records which are usually viewed as archives, not libraries. Findings
from the citystates of Sumer have revealsed temple rooms full of clay tablets. Those
archives were made up almost completely of the records of commercial transactions
or inventories with only a few documents touching historical records or legends.
Things were pretty same in temple records on papyrus in Ancient Egypt.
The earliest discovered private archives were kept at Ugarit (which is located in
today's Syria). Besides inventories, texts of myths may have been standardized for
