Since 2008 the National Union Catalogue of Polish academic and research libraries (NUKAT) has been expanding to include descriptions of early printed books. As early as in the 1990s librarians from big Polish libraries began the theoretical work necessary to enter 16th-18th century publications into an automatic catalogue. The present article recounts the preparation of normalisation documents, i.e. the norms for the bibliographic description of pre-1801 publications and the adaptation of the USMARC/MARC21 format for bibliographic records of early printed books. The authoress analyses the problems associated with full description of individual features of various copies, especially the owners' marks (provenance), in the MARC21 format. She presents a model of describing early printed books in the NUKAT catalogue, discusses the possibilities of data indexing as well as search keys available to the catalogue users. The authoress sums up the current state of the catalogue, referring to statistical data (the number of records entered, the general number of early books in co-cataloguing libraries within NUKAT). She emphasises the benefits of a joint automatic catalogue which provides information on early printed book collections in Polish libraries.

Kazimierz Piekarski's letters to Ludwki Bernacki (most letters from Bernacki have not survived) testify to many years of contacts and collaboration between these two historians of Polish books. The most important for Piekarski's future career were the contacts between 1919 and 1921 when, in accordance with Bernacki's proposal, he took on the recording of 15th-16th century printed books from the Library of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kraków and was employed by the Ossolineum Library in Lviv, headed by Bernacki, to catalogue its collection of early printed books. After Piekarski left the Ossolineum in 1921 and Bernacki became interested in other fields, contacts between them were mainly over Piekarski's use of the Ossolineum collections in his research. At the same time Piekarski helped Bernacki to solve various factual issues. The last stage in their collaboration (1938-1939) was associated with Piekarski's plans (eventually abandoned) to have the Ossolineum publish a monograph devoted to Polish printing houses in the 16th century. Piekarski's letters from that period bring us most details from his private life - this was a time when health problems made it extremely difficult for him to continue his work.
