The presented publication contains 14 works associated with the activity of the Museum of the Cracow Salt Mines in Wieliczka pertaining to geology, archaeology, history, and the history of technology. The articles are accompanied by summaries in English. The authors of the first article: Katarzyna Cyran and Jerzy Przybyła, described the geological construction and hydrogeological conditions of one of the most interesting workings – “Pieskowa Skała” – in the Wieliczka salt mine. In the next article, Józef Charkot took into consideration the development of mining technology and outlined the development of the salt mine in Bochnia in 1772-1990. The technology of salt mining and safety in the Wieliczka mine are the topics of the article by Łukasz Walczy, who discussed the protection of the workings and underground excavation (1772-1918). In the fourth article, Barbara Konwerska and Małgorzata Międzyborska presented the financial profits gained by the administrators of the salt mine (royal property) from the end of the thirteenth century to 1772. Barbara Konwerska went on to write about the exploitation of the Wieliczka mine in the light of the benefits enjoyed by its employees in the years 1772-1914. The consecutive three articles (authors: Antoni Barciak, Roman Stelmach, and Maciej Zdanek) deal with the Cistercian order in Poland. The following articles consider the Polish settlers who from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century appeared the locality of Kaczyca (Cacica, today: Bukovina in Rumania) in connection with the local salt mines (authors: Kazimierz Jurczak, Marcin Marynowski, Corneliu Zup, and Kazimierz Longher). The publication ends with two archaeological communiques about the Museum of the Cracow Salt Mines by Jarosław M. Fraś and Szymon Pawlikowski.

The Cracow Saltworks Museum Wieliczka has a collection of valuable archives; the oldest date back to the 15th century. Their content value is priceless. It is difficult to determine, out of almost 5,000 catalogue numbers, the most precious ones. An interesting set of documents encompasses royal documents, often with well-preserved seals. Undeniably, the entire resource is an invaluable basis of historical knowledge. Collected and studied for a number of years, the archives were the object of numerous publications and scientific papers regarding important issues related to the history of salt mining, primarily in Wieliczka and in Bochnia. Making use of them is facilitated by printed catalogues and inventories. The Museum is also constantly taking care of the archive’s safety and condition, by ensuring proper conditions of storage and conservation. The priority of the Museum is, as far as possible, to extend the resources onto new valuable acquisitions and to take care of the collection, which the Museum already possesses and values a lot.

The Wieliczka Saltworks Castle had been developing since 13th century in direct vicinity of a shaft excavated in search for salt. It is an example of medieval defensive architecture directly connected with the history of the state mining enterprise constituted by Cracow Saltworks in pre-partition Poland. Salt mines, with the salt works and mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia under one management, were the biggest Polish enterprise and one of the biggest in Europe. The Castle remained the office of the management until 1945, when its central part was destroyed by bombs. After renovation, the Castle houses the Cracow Saltworks Museum Wieliczka, which conducts studies on salt heritage on the basis of historical book collection, salt works archives, and a valuable salt works cartographic resource. The castle complex comprises three main buildings: the central one, the so-called House Among Salt Mine (13th-17th, 20th century), housing a magnificent Gothic room with reconstructed vault leaned on the middle pillar; north one, Salt Mine House (erected in 14th-15th century, using the rampart from the end of 13th century, rebuilt in 16th-20th century), and south one (1834-36, 20th century). The layout includes also a reserve of mining shaft from the mid-13th century, secured ruins of salt mine kitchen, fragments of ramparts with a tower. Remained facilities of the Saltworks Castle constitute a unique unit, whose historical values are important as global heritage, since they are an interesting example of medieval architecture, changed in the Renaissance, baroque, and more recent times. Atypical character of the castle whose functions were mainly economic and administrative, and also representative, and to a lesser extent residential, makes it an extraordinary piece of architecture. There are no such layouts in Poland, and the long, a few-hundred-year period of direct relationship with an industrial enterprise distinguishes the Wieliczka facility also when compared to the parse, similar and remained European centres. The article conducts a comparative analysis of in particular buildings in Slovakia, Austria, and France.
