La Biblioteca Històrica de la Universitat de València es troba en el Centre Cultural de La Nau, i conté un extens catàleg bibliogràfic el qual ha anat patint variacions al llarg dels convulsos períodes històrics en València. L’origen de la Biblioteca es remunta a la donació, en 1785, dels llibres de l’insigne valencià Don Francisco Pérez Bayer. Es va inaugurar en 1788, sent rector Don Vicente Blasco. Seguint este generós exemple, altres catedràtics varen oferir fons de les seues biblioteques per engrossir la naixent “llibreria” universitària. Lamentablement, durant la Invasió Napoleònica, una bomba va caure sobre l’edifici de la Universitat i va provocar un incendi en el qual es va perdre la major part d’este fons fundacional.
Esta catàstrofe va servir d’estímul a rectors, catedràtics i patricis valencians, els quals van refer la Biblioteca, llegant les seues col·leccions particulars. La Universitat, per la seua part, va dur a terme una política de compra que va servir per engrossir el seu ja nodrit fons i posteriorment varen arribar altres donacions importants.
La Biblioteca Universitària va ser, durant i després de la Guerra Civil, dipositària dels llibres requisats a particulars i institucions, que constituixen un fons de gran utilitat per a l’estudi de la Història Social i les Arts Gràfiques d’eixa època. És digna de menció la col·lecció de cartells de la Guerra Civil espanyola.
