Summary/Abstract: Statistics of infectious diseases incidences soon after World War II for districts of the Poznań Voivodeship preserved in the State Archives in Poznań are detailed and rich in figures. Their synthesis is facilitated by the employment of quantitative methods of classification. The article presents possibilities offered by data clustering, in particular the method of the most distant neighbourhood. The clustering results made it possible to systematise multidimensional quantitative data and thus offered a starting point for a broader historical interpretation in the area of infectious diseases after the end of World War II.
