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.

Archiwistyka Jana Riabinina

Author(s): Dariusz Magier / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2012

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.

Archiwum / apparatus uczonego. O fiszkach Stanisława Pietraszki

Author(s): Aleksandra Kil / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02/2017

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.

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.

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.

Archiwum Ringelbluma: słowa i rzeczy

Author(s): Teresa Fazan,Andrzej Fraczysty / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 14/2018

Ontologia archiwum odsłania przed nami trudną do oswojenia ambiwalencję. Dokument znaleziony w archiwum jest z jednej strony żywą tkanką przeszłości przeszczepioną w tu i teraz, z drugiej ucieleśnieniem utraty – dowodem śmierci i nieobecności. Gdy jednak zwracamy się ku przeszłości, ambiwalencja ta staje się stanem koniecznym: jesteśmy dosłownie skazani na archiwum. Konfrontacja okazuje się tym trudniejsza i bardziej zobowiązująca, gdy o odpowiedź upomina się archiwum Zagłady. Przed zadaniami opracowania i upowszechnienia cudem odnalezionych po wojnie dokumentów zgromadzonych przez grupę „Oneg Szabat” stanął zespół badawczy Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego (ŻIH).

Archiwum rodziny Szwojnickich z Borkłojnia

Author(s): Andrzej Mycio / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

In 2004 the University Library in Torun received a small collection of archival materials including the private archive of the Szwojnicki family, who had owned the landed estate of Borkłojnie in Lithuania of Kaunas until WWII. The materials collected by the generations of the Szwojnicki family allow us to outline the history of the family. They were a family of landed officials. In the 19th century their estate of Borkłojnie was where Polish military units found shelter and food during the January Uprising. In 1897 Zygmunt Szwojnicki started to administer the estate, which he continued until the end of WWII. In the interwar period he was actively involved in the struggle for the maintenance of the Polish identity by Poles residing in the Republic of Lithuania. In 1946 he was resettled to Poland. The whole archive of the Szwojnicki family preserved in the University Library in Torun constitutes one of the minor archival collections of the library. It includes 12 inventory units. The oldest document in the collection comes from 1531, while the most recent one from 1946, which means the archival documents had been collected throughout almost 400 years. They record the history of the Szwojnicki family and their estate of Borkłojnie. The collection is a typical example of family files of the moderately well off Polish noblemen residing in Lithuania. The collection includes mainly documents confirming the family’s rights to bear the noble title and to own the landed estate, birth certificates, last wills, financial documents, biographic materials concerning the last owner of Borkłojnie – Zygmunt Szwojnicki.

Archiwum Stowarzyszenia Solidarité France-Pologne w zbiorach Biblioteki Polskiej w Paryżu

Author(s): Magdalena Heruday-Kielczewska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

In 2012 the Association Solidarité France-Pologne passed its archive to the Polish Library in Paris. It is the evidence of the activity of the Association set up in 1980. Its main task was to facilitate Polish-French contacts and to help the Polish society during the martial law. After 1989 the Association was actively involved in promoting non-governmental initiatives. The collection is divided into two chronological series, which are further subdivided into sub-series embracing strictly defined fields of the Association’s activity. The collection includes documents of various types, both files and audiovisual materials. The materials were sorted out in the way that at the beginning of each series there appeared documents connected with the management of the Association, followed by correspondence, documents divided according to various fields of activity, leaflets and press. The archival documents may complement the current research on the aid offered to “Solidarity” by Western Europe and may become a contribution to new research concerning the appearance of civil society in Poland and the role of French institutions in it.
