Between 1917 and 1939 the Library of the 'Ministerstwo Wyznan Religijnych i Oswiecenia Publicznego' (The Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment - MRDPE) in Warsaw served as the central pedagogical library of the Second Republic of Poland. Drawing on valuable though incomplete archive and printed sources, the present article examines the origins, organisation and activities of the Library established together with the Department of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment in 1917. Initially, its main task was to support the work of ministry officials, later also of other people professionally associated with the education sector. With time, it began to play an increasingly important role in popularising the achievements of pedagogy and related disciplines, as well as in the self-education and research work of teachers and other professions. The history of the Library is presented against the background of transformations taking place at the MRDPE in the inter-war period. For the Library, although autonomous to some extent, was from the very beginning an integral part of the MRDPE, therefore, any changes in the organisational structure of the Ministry determined its functioning.

The article includes two manuscripts by Maria Dembowska (died 26 June 2008) 'Memorial w sprawie biblioteki PAN w Warszawie' (Memorandum on the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences) and the abridged version of the diary entitled 'Kronika dyrektora Biblioteki PAN w Warszawie' (The Chronicle by the Director of the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw) written in 1966-1977. Both texts constitute sources for the history of the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw in 1952-2005. The 'Memorial' submitted to the authorities of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1968 discusses the scope of the Library's activity, proposes expansion of its statutory obligations, mentions obstacles in its activity (personnel and space issues, subscription of foreign periodicals) and proposes measures for amending them. The other text 'Na PANskim chlebie. Ze wspomnien bibliotekarki. Notatki z lat 1966-1977' (From the Diary of a Librarian. Notes from 1966-1977) constituting the authoress' selection (ca. 70 pages) from the 'Kronika dyrektora Biblioteki PAN w Warszawie' is the record of everyday facts (meetings, visits, official letters sent). It illustrates the process of expanding the information and bibliographic scope of the Library and transforming it into a specialist institution. The authoress discusses all the events important for the Library as well as initiatives and publications. The diary presents the authoress' opinions concerning the staff of the Polish Academy of Sciences supervising the Library. The texts were edited and comments were added by Jadwiga Sadowska.

In the Second Republic of Poland special libraries described as teacher and/or pedagogical libraries played a crucial part in teachers' formation, specialist training and in popularising the achievements of pedagogics and related sciences. So far those institutions have not been a subject of in-depth research, while the functions they had within the education system make it worth trying to reconstruct their history and to analyse their work thoroughly. National, regional and local source materials can be of great help here; these materials are preserved in the Modern Records Archives (Archiwum Akt Nowych) in Warsaw, the State Archives of the Brest District in Brest (Belarus), the Lithuanian Central State Archives in Vilnius and the Central State Archives of Historical Records of Ukraine in Lviv. Since the functioning of pedagogical libraries is very closely connected with such issues as teacher training, the primary research in the above mentioned institutions covered first of all the records of school authorities of the III, II and I level, that is, the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment, superintendents of school districts, including the Lviv, Brest and Vilnius districts, as well as school inspectorates operating in those districts between 1918 and 1939. The current research has revealed valuable source materials; despite the fact that they are incomplete, they can still help us characterise the institutions that constituted the network of teacher libraries. In addition, these materials make it possible for us to reconstruct the fate of the best organised pedagogical libraries, i.e. the Library of the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment and those libraries that belonged to district school inspectorates. They also allow us to verify certain hypotheses concerning the functioning of libraries for teachers. We have to remember, however, that in order to construct a relatively complete source base – that can be helpful in carrying out a reliable, well-documented study on teacher libraries in the Second Republic of Poland - we have to take into account not only archive materials but also printed sources.

Stanislaw Sierotwinski (1909-1975), a librarian, historian of literature and bibliologist, played a key role in protecting and recovering various library collections following the end of the Nazi occupation of Poland. Between 1 December 1945 and 30 April 1947 he worked as the Ministry of Education delegate for the protection of abandoned and deserted libraries. His office was in Cracow and he supervised an area divided into six districts: Gdansk, Olsztyn, Szczecin, Wroclaw, Cracow and Lubuski districts. In his work he focused mainly on the Western and Northern Territories (the so-called Recovered Territories, regions incorporated into Poland after WWII). Between 1 December 1945 and 31 December 1946 he tracked down and recovered around 5.5m books, 1.8m of which were transported to Cracow. He was particularly active in Lower Silesia, where he saved over 2m books. He brought to Cracow around 1.7m books (over 90% of them of German origin) from that region. Saving such a huge number of books which had been stolen or nearly destroyed was a great achievement, particularly if we take into account the difficult conditions in which Stanislaw Sierotwinski worked. His small team had just a few lorries at their disposal and meagre financial resources. The problems outlined in the present article do not exhaust the subject. They just demonstrate that there is a need for in-depth research concerning the protection and recovery of library collections after the Second World War.

2009 marks the 65th anniversary of the death of Kazimierz Piekarski (1893-1944), a distinguished Polish librarian, bibliographer, book historian and bibliologist, as well as the 90th anniversary of the publication of the first and the 70th anniversary of the publication of the last book by Piekarski (published during his lifetime). The present article is devoted to Piekarski's career - as a librarian in the Library of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (Polska Akademia Umiejetnosci - PAU), and the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków, the Ossolineum in Lviv and the National Library in Warsaw. The author recounts various stages of Piekarski's academic career, his published bibliological writings and his place in Polish science after World War II, a place the significance of which can be seen in the references in academic literature, in the re-issues of his publications and, first of all, in the continuation of the work he started.

Between 1939 and 1945 the occupation authorities in Poland did not have a uniform policy with respect to libraries. Their decisions - chaotic and uncoordinated - resulted from their disregard and disdain for Polish culture and literature. We can discern some elements of a limited policy towards scientific libraries in the activities of the Central Administration of Libraries in the General Government. In the regions incorporated into the Reich books were to be destroyed physically - with the exception of some scientific collections which were stored in huge warehouses. As a result of the occupation and the war, Poland lost 71% of its library resources, not counting libraries in the eastern regions of Poland incorporated into the USSR after the war.

Father Jan Boguslawski, a 16th century Cistercian and translator, was virtually forgotten and absent from modern writings on the late Renaissance. The present article compiles facts from Father Boguslawski's life to be found in various source publications and examines the fragment of his book collection that has been identified so far. The authoress analyses 27 works in 25 volumes kept today at the University Library in Warsaw and several other academic libraries in Poland and abroad. She examines their content, bindings of the various volumes and the method of their marking. The collection theme is fairly homogeneous. It is dominated by theological literature, including Biblical commentaries and sermons. The surviving works testify to a distinctively utilitarian nature of the collection, necessary in everyday pastoral work. The oldest publication, from the earliest period of Boguslawski's life, comes from 1478. Other books, published in the 16th century, were bought between 1589 and 1602. After Boguslawski's death, in the early 17th century, a majority of volumes described here were incorporated into the library of the monastery in Koprzywnica. Apart from the catalogue description and place of storage, the enclosed list of books contains information about former owners of the books and the bindings.
