„Białe plamy” i „nieznane lądy”. Niewykorzystane możliwości w historii regionalnej ośrodków przemysłowych na ziemiach polskich, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Łodzi
“White spots” and “unknown lands.” Untapped opportunities in the regional history of industrial centers in Poland, with particular emphasis on Lodz

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to provide a critical analysis of the achievements of Polish historiography concerning industrial centres, with a particular focus on Lodz. Although Polish historiography has made significant achievements in this field, there are still many ‘blank spots’ and ‘unknown territories’ – neglected areas that cause many interesting aspects to escape the attention of researchers. The article is divided into two sections. The first section discusses the conditions in which the historiography of industrial cities in Poland has developed from 1945 to the present day. The author provides an assessment of these achievements alongside this discussion. The second part proceeds to diagnose untapped potential in research conducted over the years, identifies problem areas and proposes directions for further research.
