Summary/Abstract: In 2022, the History of Natural and Medical Sciences Research Unit comprised nine em- ployees who engaged in various collaborative activities. They embarked on a series of projects, including the creation of a virtual museum called ‘The Lost Collection: Cabinet of Natural History of Duchess Anna Jabłonowska (1728–1800) in Podlasie’, organizing the International Conference on Medicinal Plants in Science and Culture (supported by a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science – Perfect Science), conducting monthly semi- nars on the History of Natural and Medical Sciences, and holding doctoral seminars within the series ‘Polish Medical Press and Official Archives as Historical Sources in Research on Health and Disease in the 19th and 20th Centuries’. Individually, team members had signifi- cant achievements, which have been documented in numerous publications. Additionally, their valuable contribution extended to active involvement in the editorial offices of the Institute’s journals published by the Institute.
