The last few years have witnessed profound transformations affecting not merely the p o litical and economic aspects o f Polish reality but also culture and its national institutions. The cultural role performed by historical monuments, their valorisation as well as legcd and fin a n cia l situation are also succumbing to essential changes. Despite the fa c t that historical monuments are common property, the awareness o f their material and spiritual - historical and cultural - value is by no means universal. One o f the ways o f expanding this knowledge, a process whose outcome assumes the fo rm o f actual protection, is p o p u larisation, including the publication o f periodicals, both popular and specialist, such as the quarterly “Ochrona Zabytków ” “Ochrona Zabytków” is based on a forty-years long tradition, concealing the conscientious work o f numerous editors, and predominantly the knowledge and skills o f multiple authors, graphic artists and photographers. The periodical featured the studies o f outstanding researchers; a prominent contribution was made by renowned publishers and printers. “Ochrona Zab y tków” appeared under the aegis o f the Centre fo r the Documentation o f Historical Monuments, an institution established on 1 January 1962 and supervised by the Ministry o f Culture and Art. In October 2002 the Minister o f Culture created a new institution: the National Centre fo r Studies and the Documentation o f Historical Monuments, which is the effect o f a merge o f the above mentioned Centre and the Centre fo r the Protection of the Historical Landscape. The new institution took over all the tasks and the majority o f the duties o f its two predecessors, and in its capacity as the heir o f their traditions attempts to continue their most valuable publication series and pediodicals. In accordance with the statute o f the National Centre fo r Studies and the Documentation o f Historical Monument, as well as the decisions o f the Scientific Council o f the Centre and its new directors, we intend to issue “ Ochrona Zabytków ” as a p e riodical with the richest tradition and immense accomplishments. Its profile will be enhanced thanks to the introduction o f a new section on “Landscapes”, conceived as a continuation o f the periodical “Krajobrazy Dziedzictwa N a ro d ow eg o”, up to now published by the Centre fo r the Protection o f the Historical Landscape. We shall present the new publication approach in the fir s t quarterly o f the new series. Nonetheless, already at this stage we are capable o f declaring that we shall try to realise all the targets pursued by our predecessors - research-documentary, educational and popularisation. With due respect to the p a st we shall also attempt to remain worthy continuators o f past achievements. The presented fasc ic le - a jo in t third a n d fo u rth issue fo r 2002 appears with a delay caused by organisational changes, and has been conceived upon the basis o f m aterial gathered by previous editors and partially prepared by such publishers as Wojciech Fijałkowski, editor-in-chief, and M aria Barbasiewicz, secretary o f the editorial board. We would like to express our gratitude both to those publishers and members o f the editorial board. It is great pleasure to p resent the new series o f “Ochrona Zabytków ”, whose fir s t fa s cicle will deal more widely with our publication intentions, and introduce the new editorial board.
