Józef Białynia-Chołodecki (1852–1934) – researcher and popularizer of the history of the January Uprising

Summary/Abstract: Józef Białynia-Chołodecki was a publicist, social worker, historian and one of the most active non-professional researchers of the post-partition history of Poland at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and the interwar period. The January Uprising held a special place in his historiographical work. Due to his family’s involvement and his own participation as a witness to the uprising, he developed a special interest in the events of 1863/1864. During his lifetime, he took part in many activities aimed at cultivating the memory of the fallen insurgents, as well as helping veterans and their families. His historical work had a popularizing, but often also pioneering character.
