Summary/Abstract: Until World War II the center of research in the north-eastern Poland was Vilnius, where at the University of Stefan Batory existed the Faculty of Theology, which taught the history of the church. A special role was played by Fr. prof. Czeslaw Falkowski. In 1945, the professors of the Faculty of Theology emigrated from Vilnius to Białystok, where the Vilnius Seminary was also moved. Lectures on the history of the church at the Faculty of Theology of USB Białystok were conducted by Fr. prof. Falkowski until 1949. From 1949 to the 90s the history of the church has been taught only in the Archdiocesan Higher Seminary in Białystok. Since the 90s, lectures on the history of the church have also been taught at the Ponti cal Faculty of Theology in Warsaw – Section of St. John the Baptist in Białystok, and there were also lectures commissioned at the Socio-Historical Faculty of the University of Białystok. In the postwar years the history of the church was taught in Białystok by: Father Dr. Mieczyslaw Paszkiewicz, Father. Dr. Tadeusz Krahel, Father. Dr. Tadeusz Kasabuła and Father Dr. Adam Szot.
