Zachowane regesty z ksiąg metrykalnych parafii narolskiej z XVII-XVIII wieku

Author(s): Henryk Gmiterek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2021

The parish in Narol was established by Florian Łaszcz Nieledewski in 1595, in a village existing from the mid-16th century, near which he founded the town of Florianów (now Narol) in 1592. Visitations by bishops of Chełm, in whose dioceses Narol was located, confirm that the parish records (births, marriages) were kept from the very beginnings of the parish but in the autumn of 1648 they were destroyed during the Cossack-Tatar invasion (most probably burnt). The new records were kept from 1650. In the early 20th century they were seen in the Narol church by Karol Notz, famous in Galicia (Eastern Europe) for making inventories of historic relics. In 1914, the parish books were burnt during the fire of the town and the church. Their only known traces, discussed in the present publication, are excerpts/copies made in the mid-19th century by Ludwik Zieliński, which mostly refer to the noble families connected with Narol. The overwhelming majority of the 546 extracts are birth entries, only 29 being records of marriages.

Upowszechnianie zasad ochrony dziedzictwa kultury w ramach międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego konfliktów zbrojnych na przykładzie Akademii Marynarki Wojennej im. Bohaterów Westerplatte w Gdyni

Author(s): Marta Szuniewicz-Stępień / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

The article presents the experience of the Naval Academy in Gdynia in disseminating the principles of the protection of cultural property within the framework of the International Humanitarian Law of Armed Conflict (IHLCHC). The author reviewed the Naval Academy’s educational, scientific and popularization activities in the area of IHLC. In addition to the traditional dissemination of the principles of the protection of cultural property as part of education with IHLCHC (including members of the Polish Armed Forces), the Naval Academy additionally boasts two of its own scientific ventures, which have a dimension unique within the country: the annual IHLCH conference (14 editions) and the yearbook “International Humanitarian Law” (11 volumes). In 2020–2022, the Naval Academy participated in an EEA grant dedicated to the multi-sectoral challenges of protecting cultural heritage in the event of crisis or war. As a result, 4 publications under the collective title “Protection of Cultural Property in Crises and Armed Conflicts” (a 2-volume monograph, case studies and manuals, and collections of national and international source texts) were published by the Naval Academic Publishing House, and an interdisciplinary program of postgraduate studies in the above area was developed. In July 2022, the studies in question were established at the Academy. Currently, work is underway to raise funds for the implementation of further projects to improve the national system for the protection of cultural property in situations of special threats, including armed conflict.

Rola i zadania Służby Ochrony Państwa i wewnętrznych służb ochrony podczas pobytu najważniejszych osób w państwie w wybranych obiektach dziedzictwa kulturowego – muzeach

Author(s): Jarosław Cymerski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

Cultural heritage sites in Poland, which include museums, perform a cultural and educational mission. Their social character and universal accessibility should be paid to the aspect of their security also in the context of visits of the authorities of the Republic of Poland and delegations of foreign countries staying on the territory of our country. Ensuring the security of statutorily protected people is the scope of the tasks of the State Protection Service, which are carried out using forms of action and forms and methods of protection. Their selection is based on the results of conducted security threat analyses. The implementation of the safeguards carried out against the authorities residing in the museums requires the cooperation of the State Protection Service with internal security services in order to optimally ensure their safety.

Muzea w internecie w odpowiedzi na „kulturowy szok” pandemii COVID-19

Author(s): Mateusz Maria Bieczyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cultural sector worldwide has been severe. From the beginning, it became clear that the changes resulting from the restrictions would not be without an impact on the operations of museums and galleries. According to UNESCO’s May 2020 projections, 10% of the museums affected by the pandemic were not expected to reopen. This included a huge number of 8,550 museums that might never open. The collision of cultural institutions with the new reality was described as “dramatic” and called a “culture shock.” Museums had to react quickly to the unexpected. Covid-19 highlighted many organizational and infrastructural weaknesses throughout the sector. One of them was the absence or only a small presence of museums on the Internet. Meanwhile, it was the Internet that, in the face of the “forced closure” of public buildings, became the only possible channel to maintain the continuity of the business of making collections public. As a result of the transformation of many previously planned cultural events into their virtual versions, the digital transit of museums seems to be the main effect of the pandemic’s impact on museum institutions in the field of their cultural activities.

In this re-gard, outlining the factors for successful inclusive digital education, as well as the barriers to its implementation, is crucial. This paper presents some of the main results of a survey conducted in Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Latvia, aiming to determine the readiness of universities to provide inclusive Indus-try 4.0 education.

Educational Video Games as Tools for Raising Awareness of the Protection and Preservation of Cultural Heritage

Author(s): Yavor Dankov,Andjela Dankova / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

This paper focuses on educational video games with a thematic orientation related to conserving and preserving Cultural Heritage (CH). Educational video games are effective and contemporary tools for influencing and educating users. Not only the educational content is integrated into these games, but they also embody the pedagogical and moral messages of the educator, which are transmitted to the learners in an entertainment game. This paper proposes a classification of educational video games in the domain of cultural heritage according to the significance and importance of Cultural Heritage objects in the three categories, presented in detail in the paper. The recommendations to designers included in the classification will help them purposefully design and develop educational video games for CH. These games will have pedagogical principles and form additional knowledge, val-ues, and attitude in users towards the conservation of the CH at international, national, and local levels. The proposed classification of educational video games for CH will promote CH-related educational video games and provide ideas and opportunities for future developments for such educational video games. In this way, educational video games for CH will serve as powerful tools for raising awareness of protecting and preserving Cultural heritage.

The Design Process of Educational Video Games in Cultural Heritage

Author(s): Yavor Dankov / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

This paper presents a summary model of the design process of educational video games for CH. The model is based on the use of the Classification of Educational Video Games for Cultural Heritage (CH) and the Design Recommendations included in it, described in a previous study by the author of this paper. The summary model focuses on CH objects that form the theme of the educational video game. Designers should carefully and purposefully research and analyze the CH objects, use the classification, and follow the design recommendations to design educational video games for CH, following the described design stages in the presented summary model of the design process. The paper also presents an appropriate example of using the summary model in applying it to design a new educational maze video game dedicated to CH object. The proposed summary model can serve as a starting point in establishing the design process of educational video games for CH and direct designers and creators of such games in the overall design process. Based on the classification and the design recommendations intended for the designers, the summary model presents essential design stages that designers should follow in designing and developing informative, purposeful, and effective educational video games in CH.

Digital Storytelling Approach for Environmental Challenges and the Early School Leaving Prevention

Author(s): Michela Tramonti,Alden M. Dochshanov,Fabrizio Casadio / Language(s): English Issue: XIII/2023

Given the rapidly evolving nature of the labour market, it is crucial to develop individuals' soft skills to ensure effective job performance. To achieve this, teaching methods should prioritize the development of soft skills among students. One such instructional method is digital storytelling, which has been recognized as an essential tool for developing future workforce skills such as creativity, critical thinking, digital literacy, and communication skills. Two European Commission-funded projects under the Erasmus Plus Programme that utilize digital storytelling in education and training to help individuals and organizations adapt to the digital age are presented in the paper as examples of initiatives promoting this approach: The BIG_GAME and the Digital Stories.

Описът на архивен фонд „Тодор Боров“ в Българския исторически архив при Националната библиотека – в електронен вид

Author(s): Milkana Boshnakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

At the start of 2019 the Bulgarian National Library “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” provided free access for readers at home and abroad to the valuable finding aids – inventory of the archive fonds of Todor Borov in a digital format. Prof Todor Borov (Todor Tsvetanov Borov, 1901–1993) was a renowned Bulgarian bibliographer, teacher, writer, journalist and public figure. His personal archive (Fonds number 849) entered the Bulgarian Historical Archives of the Bulgarian National Library in 1993. The fonds is substantial in size – over 40 350 documents dating from 1846 to 1986. It, also, comprises 259 black and white photographs and photo albums of Borov and his wife Haritina Todorova, their children and relatives, of Borov’s friends – Alexander Balabanov, Elin Pelin, Nikola Mihov, Boyan Penev and others. Many of the photos (copies) have documented the construction of the National Library of Bulgaria building in Sofia. A significant part of the documents in the archives are related to Borov’s career – from his young years as a journalist (1921–1937), and later on from his work as a librarian, and mostly from his years of service as head of the Bulgarian Bibliography Institute (1941–1964) and of the National Library in Sofia (1944–1949).

Walka o wiarygodność. Narracje i storytelling w ukraińskiej komunikacji strategicznej

Author(s): Justyna Arendarska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (254)/2023

The article refers to the communications carried out by Ukraine’s official Instagram account (ukraine.ua). Until February 24, 2022, it served as the country’s branding tool to promote the country’s tourism assets. On the day the war escalated, the account did not suspend its activities, but instead changed its content and target audience, and became an element of Ukrainian strategic communications. At the same time, the Instagram profile continues to be a component for branding the Ukrainian state and society, even though crisis and wars tend to hinder the shaping of a country’s image in the international arena. The author of the article applies a qualitative method to analyse published messages from the first few days of the war, paying special attention towards storytelling, i.e. narrative construction and the image of the society fighting against the occupying forces. The purpose of the article is to verify the thesis that Ukrainian narratives use universal patterns derived from pop culture messages and refer to archetypes commonly used in branding. These messages are key for Ukrainian external communications, which are focused on building both a coherent and credible image of a country invaded.

Powstanie i cechy palety barw Kangxi wucai 康熙五彩 oraz falangcai 珐琅彩 – spotkanie kultur a estetyka podwójnej obcości. Część I: Problematyka terminologii i badań nad porcelaną eksportową

Author(s): Agnieszka Pudlis / Language(s): Polish Issue: 23/2023

This essay focusses on issues connected with research into the history of exported porcelain from the Far East. To this end, it discusses the literary context of the expressions “the family of roses” and “the family of greens,” and also the genesis, main features, and current terminology relating to the two most widespread techniques of glaze-painting decoration (Kangxi wucai 康熙五彩 and falangcai 珐琅彩).The article discusses the most important techniques of decoration that preceded the development of the Kangxi wucai palette and the relations between technological development and the taste of the period. It also indicates the important items in Polish collections, especially in the National Museum in Gdańsk. From the holdings of this museum, the author selects a plate decorated with wild geese on Lake Taihu. An analysis of the plate – with regard to the technology of its production, aesthetics, and iconography – is the main element in the article. Polish items are presented in the context of important European collections: the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Musée Guimet, the National Museum in Oslo, and the Museo Correr in Venice.The author formulates a new term in art theory: the aesthetics of double foreignness. It makes it possible to give a name to a phenomenon that develops in the process of reception and analysis of objects produced in one developed and isolated civilization, intended for and commissioned by a second civilization.

RÉGIMEN LEGAL DE LOS ARCHIVOS PÚBLICOS CIVILES EN ESPAÑA

Author(s): Miquel Bordas Prószynski / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 120/2023

The origins of modern legislation regulating civil public archives in Spain date back to the 19th century, although some of Spain’s current historical archives, such as the Archives of the Crown of Aragon, have their roots in the Middle Ages. In the second half of the 19th century, the need to preserve collections of the Inquisition, as well as from confiscated monasteries and religious houses, gave rise to the establishment of the State Historical Archive. The aforementioned legislation has been extensively revised since 1978 to additionally reflect the new Spanish territorial political model established by the current Basic Standard, which has gradually established a complex system of competencies in the field of public archives in Spain, depending on whether they are owned by the state (State Archives System) or by Spanish autonomous communities or other territorial public administrations (Autonomous Communities Archives System), as it has been outlined in the case law of the Constitutional Court of Spain. From the point of view of the Spanish state, Law 16/1985 of 25 June on the Spanish historical heritage is the basic normative act for the regulation of the state’s public archives, currently under the Ministry of Culture and Sports, specifically, under the General Subdirectorate of State Archives. The said archives are under the authority of a special body of officials – archivists, librarians and archaeologists. On the other hand, at the level of the Autonomous Communities, each Autonomous Community has approved its own specific legislation regarding the archives they own or have jurisdiction over. In this regard, by way of example and in relation to their representativeness, the legislation of the autonomous communities of Andalusia (current Law 7/2011 of 3 November on documents, archives and documentary heritage of Andalusia) and Catalonia (current Law 10/2001 of 13 July on archives and the circulation of records) has been discussed.

ARCHIWUM PARAFII PW. ŚW. MICHAŁA ARCHANIOŁA W JASTROWIU. INWENTARZ

Author(s): Tadeusz Ceynowa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 120/2023

The subject matter of the article is a list of preserved archival materials of the parish of St Michael the Archangel in Jastrowie. In 1602, Jastrowie was granted the municipal rights by the hands of the starost of Ujście, Piotr Potulicki, confirmed by King Sigismund III Vasa. The first church may have been built as early as the 14th century. The temple was taken over by Protestants in the 16th century and reclaimed by Catholics in the early 17th century. The Jastrowie parish, along with the Wałcz land, belonged to the Czarnków deanery, and at the end of the 18th century to the Wałcz deanery. In 1772, it became part of the Prussian state. It returned to Poland in 1945, along with all of the Wałcz Region. In 1990, Jastrowie became the seat of a deanery. In 2004–2005, the surviving pre-war archives were transferred to the Archives of the Diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg in Koszalin. There they were developed and inventoried, divided into series with new reference numbers (1–145). The chronology of the files spans the 17th–20th centuries, with 2.9 linear metres and 145 archival units. The compiled archives can be used to further research the history of the town and the immediate area.

SUPEREKSLIBRISY W BIBLIOTECE KAPITUŁY KIELECKIEJ

Author(s): Andrzej Kwaśniewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 120/2023

The historic Kielce chapter book collection includes 42 incunabula and more than 300 prints from the 16th–18th centuries. These include library (mainly theological) books and liturgical books. These prints are kept in the Library of the Higher Seminary in Kielce as an integral and autonomous collection unmixed with the seminary’s book collection. A small part of the book collection – the most valuable three liturgical manuscripts are kept in the cathedral treasury in Kielce. Supralibros were discovered in these two parts of the book collection. The negative search concerned 29 library manuscripts (14th–15th centuries) stored in the Library of the Kielce Higher Seminary in the chapter collection, as well as various scattered prints and manuscripts included in the collection of prints and seminary manuscripts of Kielce chapter provenance. However, these books include no volumes with supralibros. In the study of the book collection, 14 supralibros were selected. They belonged to 13 owners. Of the 14 bookplates, as many as 10 have been identified as associated with 9 bibliophiles. Four bookplates remain unidentified. The aforementioned bibliophiles include the bishops of Kraków. Furthermore, supralibros of bishops of other dioceses (Gniezno, Poznań and Chełmno) have also been preserved. Among the clergy more closely associated with the Kielce Chapter, Rev. Wojciech Strzemeski stood out, possessing two recognized supralibros. The preserved bookplates are valuable material in the study of supralibros. The surveyed supralibros of Kielce are mostly unknown examples of bookplates in early and mature Renaissance, then Mannerist forms; works from later times are poorly represented. A catalogue of supralibros has been added to the analytical text of the article. The structure of the catalogue and photographic material refers to the forms of description and dissemination of knowledge of Polish supralibros developed in scientific research.
