Summary/Abstract: The Institute of Archives, Libraries and Church Museums at the Catholic University of Lublin holds in its collections archive materials which can be of use in genealogical investigations. Apart from the basic sources, i.e. birth, marriage and death certificates (mainly from Luck diocese) the Institute also owns other archive materials useful for genealogists which are recorded in the form of microfilms. The files of greater importance include canonical visitations of various Polish dioceses. Church files are also significant and these include the bishops’ (acta episcopalia), general officialss’ and district officials’ files (acta officialia). The court sources also hold information in record books of the country jury courts and town criminal courts. Moreover, important genealogical data can be obtained from the archives of clergy seminaries, monastic files of various types and also from fraternity and guild books.
