Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, Authors and Reliable Friends of “Ochrona Zabytków”! It is hard to believe that it is not a dream, but the actual reality – here we are in the seventieth year of publishing our review. It is therefore a perfect excuse for memories, and especially reminders. The old volumes, smaller tomes and fat fascicules lie in front of me, and the memories of people and things stored inside them. Thus I reach for them, just some of them, pro memoriam, remembering the consecutive editors-in-chief. They were undoubtedly outstanding persons, beginning with Józef Dutkiewicz, through Wojciech Fijałkowski and Bożena Wierzbicka. It is really difficult to list them all. At the end of the sad nineteen sixties, the contributors to “Ochrona Zabytków” included: Stanisław Lorentz, Wojciech Kalinowski, Kazimierz Malinowski, Bohdan Marconi, Adam Miłobędzki, Jerzy Szablowski, Jan Zachwatowicz and Janusz Bogdanowski as well as Michał Gradowski, Maria Lebiedzka, Lech Krzyżanowski, Ryszard Brykowski, Tadeusz Chrzanowski, Aleksandra Żaryn and Marian Paździor. Knowing the reality of those times, one can imagine what a copy of OZ looked like. It was not beautiful, but it was at least wise and interesting, and that was what counted. I have in front of me volume number three of “Ochrona Zabytków” published in 1967, and in it, among other things, the following articles: The Council for the Protection of Monuments of Struggle and Martyrdom activities in the years 1961-66; Reconstruction of the former Primate’s Palace in Warsaw; The method of microscopic polished section analysis in researching ceramic monuments; Vacuum table – heated at the Conservation faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow; National Conservation Conference in Radziejowice; Conference on the preservation of the engraved floor of the Romanesque collegiate church in Wiślica. I am quoting this brief summary of the contents of the 1967 volume, so as to remind ourselves how it really was. Years passed. In the nineteen seventies, and especially in the second half of the decade, came the revival, and with it, “Ochrona Zabytków” started to grow until it slowly reached its seventieth birthday, that is, the seventieth year of publication, the first volume of which you are just holding in your hands. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am convinced that this seventieth birthday is worth at least a glass of champagne, maybe even two glasses, for what is behind us and for what is still unknown... Y ours most faithfully, Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-chief
