“From above, from planes, I had watched the motherland many times, but that time, it was different. With just one glance, I could see it all. The entire country. From over there Poland seemed little, but at the same time beautiful”. These words of Mirosław Hermaszewski, the first Polish astronaut, welcome users of the www.zabytek.pl portal. The photographic database of Polish monuments is supposed to fulfil exactly this role – enable users to take a glance and get to know the monuments of Poland. But there is also another symbolic way of looking at heritage: in order to preserve it for future generations, we should not only focus on researching monuments or the ways of preserving them, but also understand that only a living heritage – one with which the community builds relations and in whose life it is present – has a chance to survive. In the past, conservation and museum environments focused on preserving resources, but today their skills and knowledge must also cover areas related to the use of heritage by the community – the presence of heritage in its everyday life. In other words, understanding that we are guardians of heritage on an equal footing with local communities is crucial for its preservation. Therefore, we recognise the need to develop methods of education, promotion, local strategies and other activities which, together with various studies on heritage and its conservation policy, are part of the field of heritage management. In this issue of “Ochrona Zabytków” we initiate the section “Heritage Management”. We will present articles on a wide range of issues concerning the presence of heritage in the life of the community, based on co-responsibility and co-decision making of stakeholders as a condition of heritage preservation. We want to create a space for texts related to local policy on heritage, spatial planning, revitalisation, heritage education, promotion, support for entre-preneurship, cultural tourism and the challenges of heritage protection in the era of intensive tourism – to mention just a few issues related to heritage management. We encourage you to read and submit your articles to our new section.
