The aim of the article is to show the role of the Church in Old Polish society illustrated with the example of a specific area (the archdeaconry of Gniezno) at a specific time (the seventeenth century). It presents selected aspects of this subject: secular clergy and the function of the parish.The article discusses not only the social functions of the Church and their institutionalized effects, such as hospitals, schools and brotherhoods; it analyses the role of the Christian religion in developing culture as well. To perform those functions, the Church became involved in two formidable tasks associated with the age of reforms, initiated by the Council of Trent: the education of the whole society, and charity as a practical effect of mercy. The purpose of both those tasks was to educate society.

The function of the dean’s archive is not regulated in the canon law of the Catholic Church. The duties of a dean, who is the bishop’s close associate, require an independent dean’s office. The records produced by Polish synods recognise the necessity of establishing the dean’s archive, which can preserve the records and documentation produced by a dean or collected by him from parishes in accordance with the laws. The regulations of the synods require running the dean’s archive as an institution independent of parish archives, but they do not specify in detail how these records should be preserved and made available, and when the materials ought to be transferred to the central historical archives in the diocese.

Jan Matejko’s drawings depicting seals stored in the Archives of the Cistercian Monastery in Mogiła reflect the state of historical awareness, the cultural needs of Poles in the 19th century and the model of historicism developed in Galicia in the mid-19th century. They are a testimony to the Polish reception of 17th century erudite historiography, which, as a sign of local patriotism, ascribed value to the local heritage of material culture and included it in the concept of world history, and, in the 19th century, also in the concept of national and world history of civilisation. The analyses are based on historiographic, collectors’ and cultural views shaping the activities and artistic excellence of the historical painter in the 19th century. The views that might have affected Jan Matejko’s perception of the seal were highlighted. A key role in this process is played by the issues of broadening the semantic field of objects produced in the past centuries, which, at the beginning of the 19th century, were given the status of a souvenir and were willingly collected together, and which at the same time, like seals, constituted a source of historical knowledge understood in an erudite way, i.e. not only as a carrier of information about dates, characters and events, but also about clothes, militaries, material culture and customs, which in the 19th century became an object of interest for historical painters. Analyses of Jan Matejko’s drawings reveal the vastness of perception of single medieval seals also in terms of aesthetics, art and style, since the painter’s ultimate goal was not only to reconstruct the appearance of the seal, but also a historical reconstruction and historiosophical evaluation of the past. The differences between the inventory-oriented perception of seal images and the perception summing up the above mentioned determinants of the artist’s work with an artistic, individualised type of his creative expression have been emphasized, which in the case of Jan Matejko’s studies has additionally acquired the adopted of analytical research on seals as visual fragments of historical sources.

The subject of the article is the analysis of the journal ‘Zeszyty Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego’ (Scientific Journals of the Catholic University of Lublin) until 2018, that is throughout 60 years of its publication. It was conceived as a presentation of research results of people connected with the university (researchers, students, graduates), as well as a record of events taking place at the university, both inside and outside its walls, through the scientific conference activities of its employees. The circumstances surrounding the creation of the journal are presented, as well as the composition of the editorial committee, which decided on the shape of the individual issues. The analysis was mainly focused on the ‘Articles’ section, which presented scientific achievements. The results are presented in a quantitative way and in percentage distribution, which seems understandable when presenting such extensive source material. It was also pointed out that ‘Zeszyty Naukowe KUL’ is a source of information for research on the history of the university, as it contains a separate section for recording events. Currently, the journal still retains its interdisciplinary character, despite the change of its profile – instead of presenting the achievements of the academic staff of the Catholic University of Lublin, it presents the achievements of authors also from outside this circle.

The parish of Racławice near Nisko was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Historical sources testify to the presence of at least 3 churches in the Old Polish period. In the middle of the 18th century, the owner of a part of Racławice and Przędzela, Józef Grabiński, founded the church, which burned down in 1914. After Poland regained independence in 1918, a new centre of worship was built. The temple was consecrated on May 8, 1922. The parish inventory of 1923 shows the effort made by the clergy and the faithful to equip the church with the necessary liturgical parameters.

The original parish church dedicated to the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Siehniewicze, in the Lutsk-Brest diocese, dates from the mid-sixteenth century. The masonry church was founded by Józef and Maria Prozorów in 1785. It was burned in 1915 by the Russians and then rebuilt in 1922, thanks to the efforts of Rev. Izydor Niedroszlański and those who supported him. In the Second Republic of Poland, the parish in Siehniewicze became part of the Pińsk diocese, which was established in 1925. The history of the church and the inventory of the church and the parish property were prepared for the canonical visitation of the parish in Siehniewicze, conducted 3 October 1926 by the ordinary bishop of the Pińsk diocese, Zygmunt Łoziński.

This article provides a short retrospective of the history of Roman Catholic churches in Left-Bank Ukraine in the 19th–20th century, from construction during the Russian Empire to their fate in the Soviet era. It also mentions the contemporary situation of churches in independent Ukraine. Firstly, the factors that caused the establishment of numerous Polish communities in the areas of Left-Bank Ukraine, i.e. in the Yekaterinoslav, Poltava, Kharkiv and Chernihiv Governorates, were analysed. Thanks to the efforts of local Poles 12 churches were built in this area, namely in: Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Poltava, Romny, Kremenchuk, Yekaterinoslav, Kamianske, Yenakiieve, Mariupol, Bakhmut, Kharkiv and Sumy. In the summary of the article it was pointed out that every church, since its consecration, had become a centre of life not only of the Polish community, but also a meeting place for Catholics of different nationalities. During the occupation of Ukraine by the Bolshevik army, the churches were closed and some of them demolished. Only a few temples have survived to our times. Today, they are important remnants of sacral architecture, decorating the centres of Ukrainian cities.
