Aleksander Hirschberg (1847–1907) was a Polish historian.
He was born at Lemberg (now Lviv, Ukraine) on 15 December 1847, and studied at the University there. From 1872 to 1875 he worked as a secondary school teacher. From 1875 he was a Privatdozent at the University, and from 1878 he worked in the library of the Ossolineum.[1]
In 1881 Hirschberg founded, with Jan Amborski and others, the Towarzystwo Oświaty Ludowej (People's Education Society), of which he was the chair from 1882 to 1901. He was made a Professor of the University of Lemberg in 1905.[1]
