The paper’s first part spoke about the founding of the Regional Museum in Barlinek and the first 15 years of its operation as seen against regional museology. The Museum’s operation was based on the activity of its founder Czesław Paśnik. Over the last period under his management, and subsequently under his successor Józef Krupa, the Museum was given the opportunity to acquire a unique collection and become an institution of a national impact: by acquiring the legacy of the writer, member of the pre-WW II ‘Kwadryga’ literary group Stefan Flukowski. Subsequently, an attempt was made to mount an exhibition and a museum of the Woldenberg Prisoners (Polish officers from Oflag II C in Woldenberg/Dobiegniew). In both cases the attempts were thwarted by ‘central’ institutions: the District and Municipal Public Library in Szczecin and the organization representing former Woldenberg prisoners. These institutions evidently patronized the Barlinek Museum, failing to take local needs as well as historical and social contexts into consideration. The ambiguous attitude of those centres accompanied by untransparent circumstances of acquiring the collections had their short- and long-term impact, essentially leading to the limitation of the Barlinek Museum’s offer.

The paper discusses the establishment and the first decade of the operation of a small regional museum in Western Pomerania and one of the first in the region: in Barlinek. It provides an example of an institution whose operation over the years was based on the energy of two subsequent managers. Supported merely marginally by local-government institutions, they ran and developed one of the few of the type cultural institutions in the region. From the beginning of the Barlinek institution’s operation (founded in 1961), it stood out as the ‘first private’ museum in Poland, this emphasized not merely by the local, but also national press. When running the Museum, its founder Czesław Paśnik did not stop his social and political activism, focusing mainly on heritage preservation and promotion of the regional history. The only shadow cast on this period of his activity is Paśnik’s collaboration with the Security Service, SB, however, as documents reveal, he consented to do so in order to provide financing for the Museum.
