PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION IN THE REV. WALENTY PATYKIEWICZ ARCHIVES OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF CZĘSTOCHOWA (CURRENT STATE OF RESEARCH AND PROSPECTS)

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of the state of photographic documentation accumulated in the Archives of the Archdiocese of Częstochowa. It is held in two rooms (storeroom number 2 and research room number 2). In the first room, it forms a photograph collection (built up over many years and consisting of 536 albums and 4484 photographs), and in the second one, it is included in five record groups which are the archival legacy of deceased clergymen (15 albums and 1104 photographs, including 175 in a digital version). This documentation is arranged in two sections named: Non-Textual Material and Files of the Clergy, which are part of Department II containing documents and files produced by the institutions of the (archi)diocese of Częstochowa. As a result of the arrangement and inventory work, 881 items were separated and combined into specific groups and collections, for which appropriate inventories were produced. However, many photographs remain unidentified, therefore further stages of inventory work are delayed. Research conducted so far has revealed that all the photographic documentation has been well preserved and its content is of high historical value.
