Summary/Abstract: Article discusses inventory leafs pertaining to particular historical monuments from about 1932 to 1935, kept in the Institute of Art at the Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw), and concerning the terrains of presentday Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, topographic inventories in manuscript form (e. g. the county of Zaleszczyki, today: Ukraine), and a number of scientific works based on completed inventories, e. g. on art in Vilno and Lvov. Owing to the subsequent devastation of numerous historical monuments, these publications, dealing with Polish, Jewish, Ukrainian, Belorussian and Lithuanian monuments, are of enormous importance, and testify to the diversity and richness of the Central European cultural landscape.
