- Stanislovas Feliksas Didžiulis (1850–1927) was a Lithuanian bibliophile and book collector. His collection is estimated at 1,000 titles which made it the largest collection of Lithuanian and Lithuania-related books during the Lithuanian press ban. The only son of local Lithuanian nobles, Didžiulis received only partial high school education at the Panevėžys Gymnasium before it was closed after the failed Uprising of 1863. He became passionate about collecting Lithuanian books even though post-1864 books were illegal in the Russian Empire. He supported Lithuanian book smugglers and worked with the Garšviai Book Smuggling Society to hide and distribute the prohibited books. He spent considerable time and effort tracking down old and rare Lithuanian books, corresponding with various activists and bibliophiles, and purchasing books from Kraków to Moscow. Since there were no Lithuanian libraries, Didžiulis' collection was used by various Lithuanian activists and researchers as an informal library. For his support of the Russian Revolution of 1905 and participation in the activities of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, Didžiulis and his son Antanas were sentenced to lifetime deportation to Siberia. An ailing old man, he was released after the February Revolution in 1917. He lived with his family in Yalta before returning to his native in 1924 where he died in 1927. Majority of Didžiulis' book collection was acquired by the University of Lithuania and Vaclovas Biržiška. After World War II, the books were divided among various Lithuanian institutions with Vilnius University Library received the largest portion of 230 books. A reconstructed catalog of the collection was published in 2004 and included 548 Lithuanian language works. This number includes about ten books that are the only known surviving copies. (en)
