Summary/Abstract: Jurkowska discusses the nineteenth-century guest books signed by visitors to the Temple of the Sibyl in Puławy, Poland’s first museum. As an anthropologist of literacy practices, she re-contextualizes the entries and focuses the materiality and functionality of the volumes that contain the autographs. She also explores the visual strategies and performativity in the Puławy books, as well as the visitors’ writing tactics, which revolve around national memory and identity.
