The paper is a part of the PhD dissertation on the memories of H. Miklaszewska's Private Junior and Secondary School in Lódz. The memory of the school is a concept which has its roots in the biographical research and functions as an element of the biographical memory of one's childhood and youth. This memory is described as affective, vivid, frequently referred to by French gerontologists as the 'memory from the depth of one's heart' or long-term memory. This is memory of the past. Frequently it is photographic in nature, full of colors, stimulating various senses like those of taste, smell or visual perception. The application of the biographical method in research allows for exposing the reality and presenting it in the way it is perceived by the persons analyzed. The analysis of the material resulted in the collection of material on the memories about H. Miklaszewska's School in which the Mother Superior - Helena Miklaszewska played a primary role. Thanks to her involvement and initiative the school made a significant impact on the lives of the respondents and determined the aims they were determined to achieve throughout their lives. These individual biographies functioned also as a background for the history, the respondents witnessed and created.

The study focuses on epistemological, theoretical-methodological, and ethical questions that touched on individual phases of the implementation of oral history, or biographical research, focused on the life histories of people who lived their adult life in the former Czechoslovakia. It pay attention to the specifics of the ethnological approach to the research of everyday life, the connection between the representation of the past in its current interpretations, and describes the possibilities and limits of the ethnological research of the past in the present. An essential factor in the interpretation and analysis of research data is the local context and the connection with a small industrial town that developed during the socialist era. The theoretical starting point of the research is the concept of memory, which is thematised from several points of view, while the moment of asymmetry between collective and individual memory is at the centre of analytical interest. The subject of the analysis are the so-called micro-stories that communicate the current view of an ordinary person on their daily life in the past, i.e. in socialism, which is viewed not only as a specific historical epoch, but also as a special type of culture. The chosen perspective is based on the thesis that the perception and experience of lived socialism at the local level can differ significantly from the official interpretation of historical events, while this narrative is recognized as dominant. The chosen ethnological perspective does not seek to reconstruct history; it also notes the role of emotions in the research process and opens up the possibilities of the social significance of biographical research in the present.

The article tackles methodological problems connected with biographical research on anthropologists carried out by other anthropologists. The authoress takes the perspective of Michael Herzfeld and his concept of 'anthropologizing history', i.e., giving voice to those who are deprived of it. Another source of inspiration is George Stocking's idea of the contextualized history of the discipline seen as the background of contemporary assumptions and controversies. Andrzej Waligorski's (1908-1974) biography is analyzed from various perspectives: the liberal and intellectual background of Cracow; the influence of Bronislaw Malinowski and of British anthropology; Waligorski's fieldwork in Kenya and colonialism; his lectureship at the Jagiellonian University and, finally, the marginalization of both the person of Waligorski and the discipline of anthropology. .

Adult education research is a part of biographical turn in social science research. Because of that, both research and theory became more dynamic. Biographical methodology is by no means strange for Polish researchers. Florian Znaniecki introduced the method in sociology and established it in Poland. Starting from 1921, it was used in a form of a written competition (autobiography) amongst different groups. How this method was established in adult education research and how it is used is the focus of this article. First, it concerns the development of biographical research and its popularity in social sciences, followed by the impact of this method upon adult education. Especially, contribution to English and German research is described as it is where the influence is the biggest (West et al.). Third, it touches on the issues of biographicity and narration. It is followed by the methodology of biographical research with emphasis on both collection and analysis of biographical data; there are also named different QDAs (Qualitative Data Analysis) as well as Grounded Theory. Fifth, the focus is on biographicity and biographical learning with Peter Alheit's research taken into particular account. Afterwards, two theoretical contributions based on biographical data are presented in depth - biographical trajectory as a concept of suffering (Glaser & Strauss, Riemann & Schütze), and floating as a concept of going through crises in life (A. Bron). These are the concepts which contributed to biographical learning, to understanding changes in life and struggling with own identity. Finally, the consequences of biographicity and biographical research for adult educators are discussed.
