ARCHIVE AND DOCUMENTATION What is an archive and what are its different modes of existence? Being both of time and of material, as an index of evolving attitudes towards objects and subjects, contingency of time, discourse and culture, the archive takes on an active role in creating the identity and maintaining the continuity of artworks. This chapter considers the physical form of the archive, its heterogeneity, serendipity and dispersion. It looks at the way in which the archive harbors a variety of documentation of the works’ past manifestations reports, instructions, scores, contracts, correspondence, and manuals. This chapter is a part of my larger argument which concerns the identity of artworks that is established on the basis of the physical and the virtual archive the latter being a non-physical dimension of tacit knowledge, memory, skill, and metadata related to the archive’s own functionality.

The problem of carrying out digitalization in archives emerges with inconsistent adherence to the standards in each phase of the process. In addition, there is the fact that standard software packages have high prices and that they are, due to their complexity, more appropriate for IT specialists than for archivists. The focus of the paper is the consideration of the possibility to apply open source package Archivamatica to the processes of digitalization, managing and using digitalized contents in the archives. Archivamatica is free software package, based on international standards, adapted to be used by professional archivists, so it has a great potential to make experts’ work in the archives considerably faster.

The article presents the history of creation and organization of the archives in the western and northern territory of Poland (the recovered territories), as well as preparation of staff to work in these institutions. Much space is devoted to the use of the collections for scientific work and the most important publications about the region are listed. Also, the role of these archives in the teaching process at universities or in the dissemination of knowledge is pointed out. Church archives in the western and northern territory have also become the institutions integrating and connecting the two communities – the German one (inhabitating the territory before 1945) and the Polish one. Employees of these archives as ones of the first alluded cooperation with former residents, who found a new homeland in western Germany, answer the questions about genealogical research or participate in a number of scientific symposia. Meetings organized for youth and school children and training courses prepared for students are also an important measure of the commitment of church archives in the regional sense. Creation of good conditions for the storage of records and development of resources made implementation of these tasks easier. Extensive cooperation has also appeared after the erection of the Universities of Szczecin, Opole and Olsztyn.

Jan Riabinin was a prominent figure of cultural and academic life during the interwar period. He was an outstanding archivist and Polish history enthusiast, fond of the history of his hometown-Lublin in particular. As a documentalist, Riabinin won public acclaim and esteem even despite many obstacles such as foreign origin, disability (deafness) or the peculiar character of archive work, which was far from frequenting social and cultural meetings. However, it was Riabinin’s work that spoke for itself. His whole life was devoted to it. He understood perfectly the primary role that an archivist had to play, which was to combine academic and administrative activities as well as make the society aware of its national heritage. According to the contemporary archival terminology, the latter is known as the popularization of archival sources. Taking into account the biography of this emitent archivist and analysing his job-related interests, the author attempts to find out characteristics of archive studies as defined by Jan Riabinin and answer the question whether it is possible to examine Riabinin’s life separately from archive studies.

The author analyses index cards which form a part of the legacy of Professor Stanisław Pietraszka, the founder of cultural studies in Wrocław. To describe the material not researched to date, she uses the category of apparatus, taken from the media archaeology. It helps to discern within the index cards a medium, typical for the analogue humanities, that is (although not only) the “archive technology”, as well as the presentation of the ways this contraption works, by balancing between the creative and idiosyncratic element and quite rigorous rules of formalisation and organisation.

„Każdy wyrób (artystyczny, historyczny, archiwalny, bibliotekarski...) zawierający w sobie walor świadectwa historycznego i duchowego, który pomaga nam w doskonalszym zrozumieniu i przyjęciu naszej przeszłości oraz w dalszym jej przekazywaniu, jest dobrem kultury kapucyńskiej. (...) Jak nigdy dotąd pilnym staje się dzisiaj troskliwe przechowywanie świadectw kultury, pozostawionych nam przez naszych braci”. Słowa generała Zakonu Kapucynów Flavio Roberto Carraro to kontynuacja starań jego poprzedników: Bernarda z Andermatt i Paschalisa Rywalskiego, którzy dynamicznie uwrażliwiali braci na troskę o dziedzictwo Zakonu.

Tak rozpoczyna się napisany przed laty tekst autorstwa Waleriana Sobisiaka, późniejszego profesora Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, zatytułowany: Zagadnienie źródeł archiwalnych w pracach Polskiego Towarzystwa Ludoznawczego. Jest to prawdopodobnie jedyne opracowanie o tej tematyce w zbiorach Archiwum Naukowego przy Zarządzie Głównym PTL . Powstanie artykułu, 60 lat temu, zainspirowała zapewne sześćdziesiąta rocznica istnienia skupiającego etnografów stowarzyszenia.

Activities related to the promotion of Polish language and culture led by the famous Poland’s admirer — Begey family, is not the only Polish accent in Turin. In the capital of Piedmont operates the most dynamic Polish Association — The Polish Hearth in Turin which origins date back to the war times. Describing the formation of the Polish Hearth in Turin, professor Krystyna Jaworska, at the beginning, points to the informal nature of that organization. However, over the years, the community in Turin became active in many areas which is confirmed by the documents kept in the archives of the association. At the same time, these documents are showing a forgotten but very important legacy of Polish war emigration in Italy.

Andrzej Krzysztof Kunert od kilkunastu lat zajmuje się historią Polski Podziemnej. Z czasem utworzyło się wokół niego niewielkie środowisko młodych historyków specjalizujących się w tej samej tematyce. To, co w tej chwili dzieje się w tym środowisku, jest przykładem, jak indywidualna pasja badawcza, konsekwentnie rozwijana, może przerodzić się w działania społeczne na rzecz ratowania historii. Dzięki temu każdy dokument czy relacja ma teraz szansę stać się elementem całościowego opracowania historii Polski Podziemnej.
