In the wake of Poland’s access to the European Union there emerged multiple new opportunities associated with obtaining additional funds for planned or inaugurated investments. Voivodeship offices and selfgovernment authorities are paying more attention to the tourist potential of their terrains and embarking upon attempts at exploiting them in regional promotion campaigns. One of the methods applied for popularising a given region has been the delineation of socalled thematic routes. An excellent example of this approach is the Wooden Architecture Trail presenting assorted unique examples of timber construction. The trail runs across three voivodeships: Little Poland, Sub-Carpathian and Silesian, where in 2001 the local marshal’s offices undertook the realisation of the joint project. Special emphasis is due to the fact that despite the completed establishment of the Trail, initiatives intent on its constant promotion are continued. It is precisely for this purpose that the Marshal’s Office of the Voivodeship of Little Poland has issued a CD record containing detailed information about the routes and objects comprising this particular fragment of the Trail.

The CD entitled “Monuments of Wooden Architecture in the Voivodeship in Podlasie” is a combination of newest visual techniques and concrete knowledge, supplemented with photographs of architectural objects and ethnic music. The authors of the texts and photographs are the staff members of the Regional Center for the Study and Documentation of Historical Monuments in Białystok. The prime topic of “Wooden Architecture in Szydłów”, a study by Edward Traczyński transferred onto a CD, is the traditional architecture of Szydłów and, in particular, residential and farm buildings. The supplementary photographs from the 1970s and contemporary, make it possible to compare changes in the state of the preservation of local wooden architecture.

Preserved – Saved? On the Cultural Landscape and Manners of Its Shaping is a collection of texts – the result of two conferences organised in July 2000 and September 2002 by the Borussia Cultural Community society. The leitmotif of both meetings was the cultural landscape as well as the possibilities of its shaping and protection, while the point of departure was the rural landscape and the region of Warmia and Mazuria. The authors include persons professionally associated with the protection of historical monuments and preservation, as well as the owners of historical objects. The book is divided into three parts, the first being Historia – Dziedzictwo – Zmiany (History – Legacy – Changes), bringing the reader closer to the cultural legacy of Warmia and Mazuria, not merely the historical aspects but also from the present-day perspective. The second part, entitled Współczesność – Projekty – Realizacje (Contemporaneity – Projects – Realisations), contains texts about the discussed issues on a local level as well as a wider, supraregional one. Finally, the part on Siedziby – Losy – Ludzie (Residences – History – People) describes the personal experiences of various people who decided to tame the alien element and begin a new life under an “old roof”. The merits of the books include its handy size, hard cover, and lavish illustrations. The publication is enhanced by biogrammes of authors, presented at the end. The only flaw is the absence of topographic references. Although the major part of the publication deals with Warmia and Mazuria, it also contains texts about Lithuania or Sweden. The book is addressed to the lovers of Warmia and Mazuria, historians of art, conservators and laymen.
