Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the scholarly output of Bishop Jan W. Obłąk concerning the history of the Diocese of Warmia. The subject matter of the undertaken studies is wide and covers the history from the 16th to the 20th century. Bishop Obłąk devoted most space to the Polish Catholic population, but he also wrote about great figures connected with Warmia, such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Stanisław Hozjusz or Ignacy Krasicki. In his works, he also commemorated the Warmia Chapter, school institutions in Braniewo – the “Hosianum” seminary and the Jesuit college. He also wrote about monastic congregations in Warmia and many matters related to religious worship. He based his studies on a reliable source base. With his research work, he contributed to building the scientific community of Olsztyn historians.
