After World War II documentation of archive of the Konwent Polonia was dispersed. Currently, it is gathered in three institutions: The Archdiocesan Archive of Warsaw, The Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius and The Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London. This study presents a Vilnius collection - both structure of the archival fond and the information value of gathered archival units. It is extremely useful for researchers - particularly in the context of the lack of online inventories, as well as factual mistakes committed during the archival description of the records gathered there. This archival fond consists of 404 units and it is one of the most important sources for the history of both the Konwent Polonia and polish fraternities. Especially that most of fraternities archives were destroyed, and the total number of members of all academic fraternities until the outbreak of World War II was at least over a twelve thousand.

Konwent Polonia — the oldest academic corporation existing to this day, was founded in 1828 in Dorpat. Its history before restitution of Poland’s sovereignty was turbulent — full of confl icts with German students and the Russian authorities — but also not without time for fun and self-education. Unfortunately, materials that directly documented corporation’s activity between 1828 and 1882 were destroyed. This paper presents preserved documentation from the period 1883–1918, a time when Konwent Polonia existed in Tartu — in the absence of Polish State. The article also presents a brief history of the corporation’s archive. These collections are currently held in two institutions, the Archdiocesan Archive of Warsaw and the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius. They document the activity of the Polish academic corporation during the period of Partition of Poland.

Konwent Polonia - najstarsza, istniejąca do dziś korporacja akademicka, powstał w 1828 r. w Dorpacie. Jego dzieje, aż do odzyskania przez Polskę niepodległości, były burzliwe – pełne konfliktów z niemieckimi studentami oraz rosyjskimi władzami, ale także niepozbawione czasu na zabawę i samokształcenie. Niestety, materiały, które w sposób bezpośredni dokumentowałyby jego działalność w latach 1828-1882, zostały zniszczone. Niniejsze opracowanie prezentuje zachowaną dokumentację z okresu 1883-1918, a więc z czasów, kiedy Konwent Polonia działał w Dorpacie – w sytuacji braku Państwa Polskiego, a także skrócone dzieje archiwum tejże korporacji. Zbiory te przechowywane są obecnie w dwóch instytucjach: Archiwum Archidiecezjalnym Warszawskim oraz Bibliotece Litewskiej Akademii Nauk im. Wróblewskich w Wilnie. Stanowią jedyny tak dobrze zachowany obraz działalności polskiej korporacji akademickiej z okresu zaborów.
