Author(s): Octavian Dascăl / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1-2/2019

The paper intends to fulfil the graphic of accomplishment of the National Archival Fonds with the period between 1957 and 1991. It is about historical-documentary evidences from the Soviet archives, following the investigations enterprised in the archives of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine by Constantin Gonciariu, the first and by now the only Romanian archivist that has studied the central historical archives in Kiev and Lvov. The methodology and peculiarities of the Romanian researches in the Soviet archives result from the inter-institutional correspondence of the General Direction of the State Archives and from the documentation appraisal in the paper (travel reports, references, notes set up by the envoys of the State Archives in order to make research in the Soviet Union. The fruits of the scientific missions in Ukraine of C. Gonciariu in 1968-1969 materialize in the study of the files from fonds preserved at the State Historical Central Archives of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine in Kiev and Lvov, where he detected documents from the modern period, which deals with the relations of the Romanians with the Russians and Ukrainians, ancient charters for the privileges delivered by the Romanian princes to the merchants in Lvov, letters written by the princes, princesses, high prelates and officials, all of them comprising information related to the economic, cultural and religious connections between the Romanian Principalities and Poland, Lithuania and the Russian lands. It is about archivalia from the Ukrainian heritage. Their microfilm copies enriched Microfilme-Rusia/URSS [Microfilms-Russia/USSR] collection at the National Archives of Romania. In addition, by exploring thoroughly the Ukrainian archival sources that are accessible online and at the same time the secondary literature in Ukraine, the paper brings into light sources that had been ignored by now, although they are essential for the Romanian historical past, which are preserved in the archives, museums and libraries in Kiev and Lvov. By mentioning them, the basis for possible common projects to be endeavoured between the National Archives of Romania and the State Service of Archive of Ukraine is set up.

Considerations regarding Antonio Morosini’s Chronicle

Author(s): Şerban Marin / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2020

In one of his studies, Agostino Pertusi noted in a certain moment that “nel periodo che intercorre fra la morte del de Monacis ed i primi anni della seconda metà del ‘400, non vi furono storici che scrissero di cose veneziane. Molto probabilmente la situazione locale in aspro clima di guerra guerreggiata, prima contro i Carraresi ed i Genovesi, poi contro Francesco Sforza, non permise lo sviluppo di una storiografia.” In my opinion, the explanation given by the Italian historian includes two inaccuracies. First, the reference to the war period does not represent an evidence, since there are many cases when the periods of political crisis could not stop the historical writing: it is enough to refer in this sense to the moment when Doge Andrea Dandolo wrote his Chronica per extensium descripta, and this example is far of being singular. Secondly, A. Pertusi, having perhaps in mind the historical work of Flavio Biondo and regarding it as subsequent stage for Lorenzo de’ Monaci’s history, leaves completely aside the so-called “cronache di consultazione”, which continued to be compiled in the period taken into account. I refer here both to the chronicles ascribable to certain authors – such as Antonio Morosini, Fantino Pisani or Giorgio Delfino –, and to the numerous anonymous chronicles written in the 15th century. All of them developed to a large extent in the same time with the more or less ‘official’ Venetian histories (Lorenzo de’ Monaci, Flavio Biondo, Marcantonio Coccio Sabellico).

Przemyskie obrady VIII Zjazdu Związku Muzeów w Polsce, 18–19 września 1932

Author(s): Błażej Szyszkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

On 18-19 September 1932 in Przemyśl, on the initiative of Kazimierz Osiński, head of the National Museum of the Przemyśl Region, the Association of Museums in Poland organized the 8th Convention of the Delegates of the Association of Museums in Poland. 40 participants from all over Poland took part in the convention: representatives of museums, conservators and ministry officials. During the meeting, current museological issues were discussed, e.g. problems and concepts of a regional museum (Rules and Regulations of the Regional Museum Section were adopted) and protection of sacred monuments. The major point on the agenda, however, was passing a bill of the law on protection of public museums and an executive directive to that law. Papers were delivered by delegates Józef Kupka, Jan Lauterbach, Rev. Stefan Momidłowski and Kazimierz Osiński. The Convention was complete with a concert of the orchestra of the Przemyśl Musical Society and a tour of the town’s museums and monuments (the National Museum of the Przemyśl Region, the Diocesan Museum and the Krasiczyn Castle). The event considerably enhanced the reputation of Przemyśl in the Polish museum world.

SREDNJOVJEKOVNA BOSANSKA LITERATURA U ČASOPISU FORUM BOSNAE

Author(s): Lejla Nakaš / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 100/2022

Svečani broj časopisa Forum Bosnae, kojim se obilježava četvrt stoljeća kontinuiranog izlaženja, prilika je za osvrt na jedan važan segment njegovog doprinosa u proučavanju srednjovjekovne bosanske pismenosti. Među svim u Forumu Bosnae objavljenim djelima koja su se bavila srednjovjekovnom bosanskom pismenošću izdvaja se knjiga Herte Kune Srednjovjekovna bosanska književnost (br. 45/2008). Ovo izdanje uredili su Jagoda JurićKappel, Josip Raos i Elma Hašimbegović, opremivši ga i ilustracijama koje su imale izvanredan značaj za istraživanja koja su uslijedila. Rad na izdavanju Kunine knjige označio je i početak formiranja kolekcije faksimila bosanskih rukopisa u Međunarodnom forumu Bosna, dragocjene za istraživače. Knjiga Srednjovjekovna bosanska književnost već godinama je najcitiranije djelo čuvene profesorice Historije literarnog jezika s Filozofskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Sarajevu. Također, ono je i danas, a bit će i u budućnosti, gotovo redovni sastavni dio bibliografija znanstvenih radova koji se bave temom srednjovjekovne glagoljske i ćirilične baštine.

DËNIMET GJYQËSORE POLITIKE PËRFEMRAT SHQIPTARE NË KOSOVË

Author(s): Zelije Shala / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2023

On the political activity of Albanian women from the reoccupation of Kosovo by the Slavic communists in November 1945 until its liberation in June 1999, there is a multitude of court files. Well, here I would emphasize the commitment of women from the 80s, moreover, to say that they were the promoters of the spring demonstrations of 1981, in order to reveal their work and effort, and when they passed the serious challenges with dignity, these convicts I have tried to summarize in this paper. In the comments, I intend to present female personalities who are political prisoners, although it is impossible to mention the names of all the women who were imprisoned by the Serbian communist regime who went through many vicissitudes, I have decided to select three women and bring them as follows: Zyrafete Kryeziu Manaj, Nazire Curraj-Zogaj and Hafide Topalli-Kaçaniku. As for the other women that I cannot mention, I deeply apologize, and that their names are full of glory because they were the standard-bearers of Kosovo's independence. Although through writings and memorials we express immense respect to you, we never manage to ease the experiences of those who are alive today from the monstrous measures used by the Serbian udbas who made our women experience the hell of this world.

BASHKËPUNIMI RAJONAL NË FUSHËN E ARKIVAVE DHE TRASHËGIMISË KULTURORE ARKIVORE

Author(s): Veron TARA / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2023

In the age of globalization and information technology, archives and archival cultural heritage are essential for understanding and studying the history and culture of a region. Regional cooperation can help in collecting important documentation, preserving and restoring archival materials, and promoting cultural heritage, thus contributing to the consolidation of the cultural identity of a region. Another advantage of regional cooperation is that it can help in exchanging information and expertise. This exchange can improve archival practices and enhance access to archival materials. Such cooperation can also help in improving the capacity of small archives and raising public awareness of the importance of archives and cultural heritage. To achieve these goals, it is important for regions to have a common strategy for archives and archival cultural heritage. This plan should include several key points, including improving archival infrastructure, improving access to archival materials, increasing cooperation between archival institutions in the region, and raising professional human capacity. In conclusion, this cooperation can help in collecting, preserving, and promoting archival materials and cultural heritage, to improve the internal systems of archives.

SHËRBIMI ARKIVOR DHE MBROJTJA E TË DHËNAVE PERSONALE

Author(s): Ergyseda Shpataraku,Xhensila ÇULLHAJ / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2023

The Law on Archives defines the basic rules for the organization and function of the archival service in Albania, the institutions that perform this service, as well as their legal obligations for the creation, preservation and use of archival assets, as part of the national heritage. The state archives administer and preserve the inherited documents as well as the archival documents of the local state institutions of the governing bodies, which operate within the respective administrative-territorial unit. Archival search tools are open and free for everyone. The purpose of this study are the opinions for the changes in the law on archives and the law in the protection of personal data, on the functional progress of the two institutions and on the adoptions in the relevant articles, not hindering the service to citizens and not infringing the personal data of individuals others. Article 63 states that: Archives protect the intimate life of the person. It is prohibited to recognize, use and publish documents that contain data of a personal nature and violate the private life of the person. Documents that contain data of a personal nature and affect the intimate life of the person are served only after 50 to 150 years have passed, as the case may be, from the date of their creation. But does this point of the law conflict with Chapter II of Law No. 9887 dated 10.03.2008 “On the Protection of Personal Data”?

KONTRIBUTI I GJEÇOVIT NË FUSHËN E BOTIMEVE, TË ARKEOLOGJISË E HISTORISË

Author(s): Theodhora Lena / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2023

From everything presented in this modest work, it stands out not only the wealth of material that represents the diverse religious, educational and scientific activity of Gjeçov, but also the unusual care of the archivist who showed the preservation of the documents, the notes he kept, of correspondence etc. Regarding this, he claims that “I keep everything in my private archive”, Shtjefen Gjeçovi was not satisfied with the work he did in this regard. Being aware that the history of the Albanian people could only be scientifically written by relying on archival sources, he expressed in some of his writings the imperative need for the creation of a national historical archive, as well as an archaeological museum. in their absence, he fanatically preserved in his archive everything that served to illuminate the history of Albanians, both through written documents and archaeological or other objects that he discovered as a diligent researcher and tracker. Shtjefen Gjeçov’s fund holds No. 58, has a wealth of great national value in various fields, as an outstanding researcher of popular culture, translator, in the field of archeology, history, literary creativity and that of ethnography, etc. The materials of this fund have the following time limits, the years 1864-1942 and no year.

Author(s): Katarzyna Kalisz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2016

The National Digital Archives stores the audio-visual contents of Jerzy Ficowski’s legacy – photos, audio recordings, and films. The most numerous type of data found there are photographs. Many of the photos are representative of Ficowski’s research interests. There are Gypsy photos (especially those taken by him while traveling in Gypsy caravans), Judaica, photos regarding Witold Wojtkiewicz and Bruno Schultz (particularly those taken by Jerzy Ficowski during his stay at Drohobych), photos taken by Ficowski as illustrations for „Karty z raptularza”, portraits and photos of Jerzy Ficowski himself and of his family.

Another important preserved form of Ficowski’s legacy are films of his family, recorded between 1930 and 1936, records of performances, klezmer concerts, poetry readings, video relation of the ceremony of awarding him with the “Man of Borderland” title, and drafts for film of Paweł Woldan “Amulety i definicje” (1998).

Poglądy bibliotekarzy austriackich na ochronę książek (początek XX w.)

Author(s): Agnieszka Bangrowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 21/2023

At the beginning of the 20th century, the methods of collection protection used by Austrian librarians were related to the availability of materials used for this purpose, i.e., natural, chemical and biological agents. The primary preventive measure was maintaining library cleanliness (reading rooms and storerooms) and extensively vacuuming dust, mold, and dirt from objects. Among living organisms, mold, fungi, and insects were the greatest threat to library collections. Librarians used chemical fungicides (e.g., thymol and formalin) and proposed four methods for destroying insects: mechanical, chemical, physical, and biological. All activities undertaken by Austrian librarians indicate the awareness of the need to protect historical collections and the related use of old and new methods for securing collections.

Serwisy biblioteczne w perspektywie search engine optimization

Author(s): Władysław Marek Kolasa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2016

This article attempts to answer the question whether the websites of large Polish libraries apply principles of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The study was conducted in four areas, including as follows: 1. study of key words (key word research, key word usage & key word density); 2. analysis of the on-page factors (content & technology); 3. analysis of off-page factors (backlinks & social media); 4. analysis of metrics reputation (brand & confidence metrics). The first area of research is based on the data generated from Google Adwords for the year 2014 (7.411.387 queries, 801 phrases); for subsequent areas material was provided by technical analysis of 13 most visited websites of libraries located in four major academic cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw). In the article the author examined in detail key words/ phrases, by which users search for local academic libraries, and also examined how the selected libraries’ websites implement SEO guidelines. The point of reference in the diagnosis of current factors were correlation reports of companies: Searchmetrics (SEO Ranking Factors and Rank Correlations 2014, 2015) and MOZ (Search Engine Ranking Factor 2015). Empirical research was based on data as of February 2015.

Rozwój badań nad wizualizacją informacji

Author(s): Veslava Osińska,Piotr Malak,Bożena Bednarek-Michalska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2016

The last decade has shown a rapid development of interdisciplinary research on visualization of information (Infovis). In bibliology, the first person to become interested in these methods was a pioneer of science-metrics, E. Garfield, who introduced the term “science-grams”. In creation of “science-grams”, or maps of science, are involved IT specialists and bibliologists, computer specialists and science specialists, as well as specialists on presentation of information and graphic designers. This article aims at presenting the possibilities of using Infovis as a new field of research in information sciences through a series of examples of visualization for the collection of metadata, that come with bibliographic descriptions of documents available in Polish digital libraries. The results of the analyzes of metadata the authors presented in graphical form, choosing the technique of visualization according to the data type (number, text, date) and according to context analysis. The targets of data visualization: detection of quantitative changes on a graph, showing the geographical spread of the data, the disclosure of intellectual and social relationships, and effective communication of the idea of the experiment, are described in detail and illustrated.

Poligraf redaktorem: warszawski „Przyjaciel Dzieci” czasu redakcji Emila Skiwskiego (wrzesień 1890 – czerwiec 1892)

Author(s): Krzysztof Woźniakowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2016

The fourth editor-in-chief of the Warsaw’s weekly “Friend of Children”, after death of Jan Kanty Gregorowicz, who has been running the magazine for 23 years, was his former publisher, owner of a renowned printing facility, Emil Skiwski. As he limited himself to a role of formal representation of the magazine outside, the actual management of periodical he handed to his team composed of Stefan Gębarski, Teresa Jadwiga Papi, Stanisław M. Rzętkowski, Antoni Ślósarski and Henryk Wernic. Officially declaring a strict continuation of the model of the magazine from the time of Gregorowicz, he actually gradually introduced some innovations, such as new interior graphics (including attempts at colorful illustration), resignation from the editorial extract supplement for small children, withdrawal of hostility to the presence of fantastic elements in children’s literature, the introduction of new section, “The world”, which was a kind of selective press about contemporary issues. The sudden death of Emil Skiwski after only 22 months of office resulted in acquisition of this position by his son, also typographer – Jan Kazimierz Skiwski.

The current state of research on the life and creative work of Stanisław Wasylewski in years 1945–2015

Author(s): Beata Langer / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2016

The article analyzes the compact publications and texts from Polish periodicals about one of the most popular Polish writers of the interwar period – Stanisław Wasylewski (1885–1953). In 2015, 130 years have passed since death of the creator, and the state of research on his life and work is still in considerable dispersion, and some selected issues are only partially studied, hence there is a need to gather and discuss so far published materials. The text discusses the few publications devoted to the writer in compact and press releases from years 1945–2015. The analysis shows that the profile of the writer, whose works are still being published, at the moment again is being ignored by the next generation of researchers. The largest number of articles devoted to this author was published just after the war and, above all, they were mostly the reports connected to the loud across the country process of collaboration. After the acquittal of Stanisław Wasylewski of charges and his exclusion from the Union of Writers, for a long time he became forgotten, until late fifties, when re-editions of his works, and publication of new titles that he left were issued. Later, mainly thanks to the initiative of Jerzy Pośpiech, several articles devoted to Stanisław Wasylewski were issued in the nineties and after 2000, but it is still not enough material for those interested in the life and work of one of the most acclaimed and widely read authors of the interwar period.

Działalność programowa Stronnictwa Demokratycznego w latach 1940–1944: deklaracje ideowe, programy, broszury konspiracyjne

Author(s): EWA FOGELZANG-ADLER / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2016

Ideological declarations, programmes and conspiratorial brochures published during WWII by both currents of the Democratic Party (“Stronnictwo Demokratyczne”), i.e. the “Rectangle” Democratic Party (“Prostokąt” Stronnictwo Demokratyczne), the Polish Democracy Party (“Stronnictwo Polskiej Demokracji”) and the Young Democracy Movement (“Ruch Młodej Demokracji”), i.e. the Youth Division of the Polish Democracy Party in two major publishing centres (Warsaw and Cracow), have not been the object of numerous academic publications up till now. Furthermore, most researchers were interested in them on the margin of more extensive studies and these issues were not the main object of their interest. The author of this article makes an attempt at focusing on the content of twelve conspiratorial prints of the democrats: eight written by the activists of the “Rectangle” Democratic Party, three by the activists of the Polish Democracy Party, and one by the members of the Young Democracy Movement. By applying the method of analysis and criticism of sources, the study encompasses ideological declarations, programmes and conspiratorial brochures which were published by the Democratic Party between 1940 and 1944, and are kept in public archives. The documents include: Ideological Declaration of the “Rectangle” Democratic Party, Reaction and Democracy, Initial Premises for the Programme of General Post-War Political Reconstruction, Programme Outline for Organising a Modern State, Democratisation of Culture, Draft of Ideological Declaration of the Democratic Party, Border with Germany, At the Moment of Breakthrough, Ideological Theses of the Polish Democracy Party, Programme of the Young Democracy Movement, Border Issues.
