Chojna w zainteresowaniach naukowych Tadeusza Białeckiego. Przyczynek do portretu profesora-regionalisty
Chojna as a matter of academic concern of Tadeusz Białecki: A contribution to the portrait of the professor-regionalist

Summary/Abstract: Tadeusz Bia􀃡ecki regional achievements are extensive. They include the whole present day Western Pomerania geographically, and chronologically from the early Middle Ages up to the present moment, with the exception of modern history. A special place in Tadeusz Biał􀃡ecki’s academic research was occupied by Chojna, with which he had been bound emotionally since 1953. Working in the Szczecin Library he looked after the librarians from the Chojna District. He began his academic career from the demography of that District. Tadeusz Biał􀃡ecki’s features as a scholar-regionalist are focused in his ‘Chojna’ achievements. Not only did he do town research, but also he inspired it; for example, he was the editor of the Þ rst Polish-language monograph of the Chojna District. Professor Biał􀃡ecki was a keen photographer as well; in his archives there is an impressive collection of photographs of Western Pomerania starting from the 1950s. His photographic passion was the impulse to produce the Þ rst photographic album of the Chojna region. The regional activity of Professor Tadeusz Biał􀃡ecki does not cease in spite of his advanced age. He publishes his memoirs in the pages of ‘Chojna Yearbook’ (Rocznik Choje􀄔ski), and he participates in the discussion on creating a Chojna Museum. The Chojna fascinations are still vivid in his memory, so in 2013 ‘Chojna Yearbook’ honoured Professor Bia􀃡ecki with an occasional interview with him.
