The author, a Director of the Historical Monuments Documentation Centre, taking the opportunity of the ten-year period that elapsed from the time when the Centre 'has been established, presents its 'history, its tasks and discusses its plans for the future. The Historical Monuments Documentation Centre was called into being on January 1, 19(02 by the Minister of Culture and Arts decision issued on the 2i2nd December, 1901. Ilts finst residence consisted of a couple of rooms in the former Palace of the (Polish Primate, Senatorska (Street Ii3—1(5. On January 1, ,1971 its siege became an ancient house located at Brzozowa Street ,36 in the Old Town quarter of Warsaw. The activities of the Centre are based on co-operation and contributions made by a number of its constant collaborators recruiting from among conservators and scientists. In addition, a steady co-operation has been established with several institutions throughout the country of whom most fruitful proved to be relations with Technical Universities, the State Ateliers of Historic Monument Conservation, museums, scientific and research institutes, archives and so forth. The scope of tasks of the Centre consists in gathering and elaborating the complex documentation for all the kinds of movable and immovable historical monuments in this country. Up to now considerable amounts of historical, iconographie (illustrative), bibliographic, photographic and survey materials have been gathered, in other words, of all these materials that are allowing for full appraising of the monument’s values. That type of material also permits for right planning, influences the conservator’s decisions and proves highly helpful for appropriate conservation thus representing an excellent source for scientific work and interpretation. In addition, the Centre has been furnished with the rights to supervise the inventory works and classification of movable monuments that is organized and financed by the conservators. Thus it is in tight co-operation with the field Monument Documentation Offices that were founded recently as the sections in Conservator’s Offices. ' In the nearest future it is planned to start the preparation and publishing of Monument Inventories, among them of those in the field of architecture as, for instance, palaces, town halls, churches etc., and of movable monuments tike the goldsmith’s pieces, paintings, ancient organs, sculptures and s.o. The inventories of all monuments accurately prepared as to the documentation accompanying each item are expected to fullfill the task of the complex documentation. Preparatory works have already been started but for completing the whole task several years of a methodical action are required. No interpretations are to be contained in those catalogues, they are thought as supplying only the purely documentary material basing on the scientific research methods. The Centre’s other tasks consist in subsidizing the research work and organizing the conservators’ conferences. These latter are to play a many-sided part as they are intended to serve the exchange of experiences and views of the professionally active conservators, and at the same time constitute a forum where they encounter the representatives of natural sciences. Materials gathered as a result of each conference as well .as the proceedings in their printed form are being used as instructional materials for the higher schools at which the conservators are trained and also supply an evidence of development of the Polish thought in the field of conservation. This is exactly these conferences that are solving a number of essential problems characteristic of the conservators’ milieux and thus help to improve the methods used in conservation. Both the results of works carried out by the Centre and those on its initiatives find their expression in publications. Each forthcoming year brings the speeding up and increasing the number of publications dealing with the perplexed problems of monument protection and conservation. Through a wide exchange of our publications the Centre plays an important role in the field of instruction and also that of popularization of monument protection and conservation in Poland.

The Team of Experts was formed on the rising tide of the changes that occurred in our country and in the system of monument protection after 1989. An independent office of the General Conservator of Monuments which, apart from the Centre for Documentation of Monuments, needed a team of experts and specialists who could advise on adjudicating cases of the second instance. In the autumn of 1992, a decision was made that the Team of Experts on Architecture, Urban Planning, and Cultural Landscape would be created from the 1st of January 1993 as a department of the Centre for Documentation of Monuments. I was entrusted with the task of creating it in September 1992. An action programme was created at the time, along with an interdisciplinary team made up of a former member of the Team of Experts of the Interdepartmental Committee and new employees connected with Warsaw’s universities. In November 1993, we managed to create a list of experts, a group of several hundred people the help of whom could be used by both the monument protection services and the Team. We cooperated closely with the Regional Centres that we asked to prepare opinions on the cases from their areas. The Team of Experts mainly received cases investigated by the General Conservator of Monuments. In accordance with the 1962 Act on the protection of cultural property, we tried to protect all the monuments whose owners applied for removing from the register. Applications for removal were the inspiration to look for new solutions to save the monuments: the faience factory in Włocławek (the reason for organising an international conference on the revitalisation of monuments of technology), factories in Żyrardów and Sosnowiec, and the “Guido” coal mine in Zabrze. The Team maintained numerous international relations, the employees took part in courses, conferences, trade shows, and study tours, and our experience was desirable in the East (Kamyanets-Podilsky 1994). Our report concerning the church in Tum near Łęczyca presented to the main conservation committee enabled the use of financial resources, saving the church. We also began working on a new standard of urban documentation. However, field works and works on the conservation guide were discontinued after some changes have been introduced in the ministry. By the decision of the Minister of Culture and Art, the Centre for the Protection of Public Art Collections was transformed into the Centre for the Protection and Conservation of Monuments, and the Team of Experts along with the specialists was moved to that centre. In the autumn of 1998, the CPCM returned to its previous name and scope of activity, and the Team of Experts returned to the CDM. Unfortunately, the entire structure of the monument protection services has already disintegrated. The reconstruction of the Team in its previous make-up was impossible, and expectations towards the Team were limited. In 2000, after a new group of experts has been appointed and introduced under the supervision of the General Conservator of Monuments, a return to a strong monument protection service was no longer possible. This is why in 2001, I left the Team and took up the post of the Warsaw Conservator of Monuments.
