Dear Readers! For over a year the National Heritage Board o f Boland has been conducting work associated with a verif ication o f the register o f historical monuments. In this way, we wish to assist voivodeship conservators o f monuments in bringing up to date data contained in the register o f historical monuments and preparing a resource o f information accessible on digital carriers, which is then introduced into an electronic database. An important element oj this process is devising a standard o f a contemporary description o f historical values. We would like to carry out this process upon the basis of a wide spectre o f such values as well as to benefit from experiences connected with the protection o f sites included onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. The most recent issue o f "Ochrona Zabytków" presents a fragment o f this complex problem, exemplified by an important domain o f the historical heritage, i.e. the monuments o f technology. I am firmly convinced that the rules presented in the copious article on the topic can be applied also to other domains o f the historical resource. In addition, I draw attention to the extensive gamut of assessments and the necessity o f devising such a method o f conduct that in praxis will make it possible to reach an objective assessment o f the value of historical resources and its precise description, and thus will allow a significant improvement o f the practical standards o f the protection o f historical monuments. A prominent supplementation o f the mentioned undertakings can include a f requently unnoticed area o f civic activity, which should eff ectively support the protection o f historical monuments. We discuss this question upon the basis o f experiences connected with the Foundation for the Development o f Local Democracy. The titles o f the awarded projects: Neighbours for neighbours and "Open gardens demonstrate the status and values o f local cultural space. Traditionally, we have tried to portray secrets concealed behind the walls o f numerous Polish highest rank monuments. This time, I would like to invite you to the Bernardine monastery in Leżajsk. The discovery o f murals embellishing the walls o f the novitiate celts comprises a fundamental principle o f the necessity to carry out professional research preceding all planned conservation initiatives. Under more than ten layers o f paint, for centuries patiently placed by the inhabitants o f the monastery, researchers perceived and unearthed excellent murals. Today, we may admire the beauty and expression o f the depicted figures, the emblems o f death, Satan and the angels as well as many other images carrying a stirring spiritual message. The walls o f the cells depict sprawling landscapes as well as floral and geometrical ornaments. Since interiors continue to serve the residents o f the monastery, it seems even more worthwhile to profit from our publication and to take a look into the formerly closed cells, even i f for only a moment. It gives me pleasure to invite you to become acquainted with the presented issue. I wish you very pleasant reading. R espectfu lly you rs Marcin Gawlicki Director o f the National Heritage Board o f Poland
