PHOTOGRAPHIC LEGACY OF REV. TADEUSZ STYCZEŃ SDS IN THE ARCHIVES OF JOHN PAUL II INSTITUTE - THE STATE OF ARRANGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The Archives of the John Paul II Institute contains the archival legacy of Rev. Professor Tadeusz Styczeń, Karol Wojtyła’s student and long-time director of the John Paul II Institute. The legacy material, apart from the textual documentation already arranged and described, includes numerous items in various forms of photographic image recording. Positive prints constitute the most numerous group, but negatives and image documentation digitally recorded are also held in the archives under study. The author discusses the state of arrangement of this collection from the point of view of archival methodology. He presents significant series and photographic themes, focusing on those which contain photographs connected with the activities of Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II) at the Catholic University of Lublin. He draws attention to those series of photographic documentation which show a unique relationship between the Pope and the author of the legacy, Rev. Tadeusz Styczeń. In conclusion, he defines the necessary successive stages of archival processing and emphasizes the need for quick arrangement, particularly the description of thematic series as well as the identification of events and people depicted in individual photographs.
