The article – following previous ones of similar topic published in “Museology” – is the 1st part of a broader elaboration pertaining to relocations of cultural goods after World War II, in particular to functioning of repositories where those goods were assembled. They were established and operated by Polish administration on the territories liberated consecutively by the moving front. This time the repositories in Gdańsk Pomerania region are discussed. First part presents issues related to a geopolitical situation of Gdańsk Voivodeship, especially the city of Gdańsk. Historical background is given to the so-called recovery campaign conducted by Polish administration. The process of getting organised by Polish authorities is also described, as well as the way it affected the achievement of their objectives: organisation of social life, rescue of artworks – despite the shortage of means – by penetrating areas outside the city in search for hidden goods, establishment of repositories, depositories etc. for items of cultural heritage saved from the fire, left behind the moving front and the Red Army, and for those taken out of towns by the German monuments’ protection service. Sites of Gdańsk Voivodeship where the monuments were deposited by German administration are listed in the article. Collections of movable goods assembled in those caches survived military actions and – if not plundered by local people or Soviet Army commanders – were being saved and secured in repositories organised by delegates of the Ministry of Culture and Art. The way in which the Polish repositories were established and operating, as well as the fortunes of historic artefacts collected in them will be further described in the following 2nd part of the article.

The second part of the paper on the repositories located in Sopot and Gdańsk-Oliwa refers to the articles on Polish conservation and museum repositories published in the previous issues of the ‘Muzealnictwo’ Annual, particularly in the 2018 issue No. 59. The paper covers the period 1945–1949, in which the first stage of the transport of the artistic collections to the Polish Central Museum Repository in the Gdańsk Voivodeship (PCZM) took place. Established in 1945 by the Ministry of Culture and Art (MKiS) and the Central Directorate of Museums and Collection Protection (NDMiOZ), the institution was meant to collect moveable heritage that on the grounds of the decrees issued at the time was becoming property of the Treasury of State. The main PCZM’s seat was located in Sopot, the second in Gdańsk-Oliwa. The activity of the Repository is described, and so are the responsibilities of its staff and management, number of monuments collected at a given period, operation principles, administrative reporting, financing, outlays on the edifices of the Repository buildings. Furthermore, legal and political conditioning for PCZM’s operations are given. The issued decrees and ordinances changing the political regime in the country are given; they had a direct impact on the property collected at the Repository: abandoned, former German, and former manorial and on its ownership transfer. Moreover, extracts from instructions, orders, and circulars issued by the then administration, and affecting PCZM’s goals and operating are quoted; additionally, localities from which objects were transferred to PCZM are given, and sources to further investigate the topic are pointed to.
