Summary/Abstract: The photograph collection illustrating the work of Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki accumulated in the Central Archives of the Light-Life Movement is the largest devoted to this person. The Archives is part of the Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki Institute, which preserves the legacy of Rev. Blachnicki and disseminates his thought. The collection of the photographs consists of a series of positive prints, slides, plates and albums. The photographs were arranged and appropriately described. Additionally, the photographs, slides and plates were digitised in a suitable resolution for printing. The direct holder of the collection is the Publishing House „Światło-Życie”, which have published numerous books on the work of Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki. Magazines, Internet portals and organisers of events devoted to Rev. Blachnick have also been interested in the collection. Furthermore, the photographs have been used in films about the priest. The Light-Life Movement founded by Rev. Blachnicki is constantly growing and the interest in its founder is still alive.
