THE CATALOGUE OF S. KRUKOWSKI AND SON’S ORGAN FACTORY IN PIOTRKÓW TRYBUNALSKI FROM THE ARCHIVE OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BVM PARISH IN KRYNICA-ZDRÓJ AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON THE ACTIVITY OF AN ORGAN-BUILDING COMPANY

Summary/Abstract: Dated December 5, 1935, The Catalogue of S. Krukowski and Son’s Organ Factory in Piotrków Trybunalski is a hitherto unknown source revealing extensively (albeit incompletely) the activities of the organ-building company of Stanisław and Stefan Krukowski. The document, found in the archive of the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Krynica-Zdrój, is a home-made compilation of various sources, such as organ acceptance protocols, letters of recommendation, instructions, sketches and organ case photos, which are arranged in neither chronological nor factual order. The leaflets and machine copies of the original documents selected by the builders were subjected to a comparative analysis via the historical method. The information thus obtained allowed me to add to our current state of knowledge; also, it indicates the need for detailed source research to be done in the parish archive, concerning both organ building and the activity of the organ builders themselves, as carried out in the territory of Poland within its historical borders.
