Summary/Abstract: The simplest way of digitization is scanning pages as graphical images. DejaVu is a format especially designed for efficient and convenient presentation of scanned publications. In Poland it is used, among others, by Digital Library of Wielkopolska. The paper discusses in particular two dictionaries, which have been scanned by Warsaw University Library and later converted to this format. One of them is 17th century Knapski's dictionary, the largest lexicographical work of the period. The second is the monumental geographical dictionary in 15 volumes, published in 1880-1902. Last but not least, the first volume of 16th Century Polish Language Dictionary (work still in progress) in DejaVu format is also announced. All the dictionaries mentioned are freely available on the Internet.
