Summary/Abstract: The Baltic Institute established in 1925 was a pioneering initiative aimed at conducting and popularising scholarly research on Pomeranian and Baltic matters. Apart from defending against German claims, its activists also called for Poland to be wide open to the sea. After the war, the Institute engaged in the development of the Baltic lands, both economically and historically. To the liquidation of the Baltic Institute in 1951 contributed the policy of the authorities which did not accept the visions of Poland’s development that differed from their own.
