Summary/Abstract: The Lublin Archdiocesan Archives store a collection of approximately 11,000 photographs from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. This collection still has to be put in order to respectfully all archival standards. It does not have a proper inventory yet. For internal purposes, only simple lists of photographs have been created. The collection is divided, according to the order of accession, into albums, chronicles, folders, envelopes and archival boxes. A significant part of the photographs finds its place in the personal and parish files. The photographs are digitalized to a very small extent. Their digital copies are prepared in an unsystematic way, mainly for the ad hoc purposes of current exhibitions and planned publications. Nevertheless, the photographic collection attracts increasing interest and is made available to public. The collection includes interesting objects, such as an extensive group of photos gathered for the purpose of beatification processes.
