As monument conservation is very scarcely represented in the Polish Academy o f Sciences, we are especially pleased by the fact that at the 77th Session o f the General Assembly on the 6th of December 1997 Professor Jerzy Ważny was appointed a corresponding member of the Academy. He is an outstanding specialist in the field o f wood preservation, the organizer and head of the only Department o f Wood Protection in Poland in the Main School o f Agriculture in Warsaw. Most o f his scientific and conservation work has been devoted to the problems o f wooden monuments. Professor Jerzy Ważny graduated from the Forestry Department o f the Main School o f Agriculture in Warsaw in 1950. He specialized in pathology and conservation of wood under the supervision o f Professor Jozef Kochman, a fu ll member of the Polish Academy o f Sciences. In 1957 he received the doctoral degree in the Department o f Wood Technology o f MSA, in 1962 he completed the habilitation procedures. In 1969 he was nominated as associate professor, and in 1976 as fu ll professor. In the same year he was elected a fu ll member o f the International Academy o f Wood Science (IAWS) in Vienna. He is also a member o f the International Research Group on Wood Preservation in Stockholm and the IUFRO group (Working Group on Wood Protection) in Rotorua, New Zealand. He worked very actively in the former Comecon Working Group for Monument Conservation in Warsaw and in Wood Research Coordination Centre in Bratislava. For many years he was a member and the chairman of the Scientific Council o f the former Ministry o f Forestry and Wood Industry. He has been a member o f the Scientific Council o f Monument Conservation Workshops, the Foundation for the Protection o f Monuments, and the chairman o f the Scientific Council o f the Centre for Conservation and Research over Monuments. In the years 1960-63 he was a counsellor o f the Minister o f Building Industry in the field of the protection o f b u ildings. Since 1956 he has been the chairman o f the International Committee o f Wood Protection. In 1990 he received the prestigious international „Ron Cockroft Award" from Sweden. He is also a laureate of many awards granted by the Minister o f Science, Higher Education and Technique, the Rector o f the Main School o f Agriculture, the Minister of National Education, as well as o f the „Meritorious Cultural Activist" medal. Professor Jerzy Ważny is the author of over 280 scientific publications. More than 90 o f them have been published in the leading journals connected with the field, such as „Holzforschung", „Hots- und Werstoff", „Material und Organismen”, „W o o d Science and Technology”, „W o o d and Fibre Science”, „International Biodeterioration", „Holztechnologie", „Chimia Dreviesiny” and others. His research work is devoted to the complex field of pathology and conservation of wood appearing as raw material, in buildings, historical monuments and works o f art. It is concerned with diagnostics o f phisiography and biology o f wood-destroying organisms, their in fluence on the technical parameters of wood, methods of conservation and methods o f protection. A special recent achievement is the modernization of toxicometric methods o f wood protection through introducing the computer estimation o f results for the first time in the world and applying numerical analysis in the diagnostics of wood-destroying fungi. A detailed presentation o f Professor Ważny's and his Department's works can be found in the fourth issue o f „Ochrona Zabytkow" from 1991. Professor Jerzy Ważny, himself or with co-workers, appraised as an expert over 9000 objects infected by fungi or insects, including a vast number o f mobile and immobile monuments. He was a supervisor or consultant in the conservation of numerous treasures of culture in Warsaw and all over the country. For many o f them detailed conservation projects were prepared. Some, such as the Palace in Nieborow or the Palace in Wilanow, were constantly supervised throughout their reconstruction. For many years the Museum of Folk A rchitecture in Sanok, the Museum o f Lublin Countryside and other Skansen museums were offered continuous assistance. Professor Ważny has also been involved in pedagogical work. He has had lectures on forest fitopathology and microbiology in the Forestry Department of MSA, on wood protection and conservation in the Department of Wood Technology, as well as on conservation microbiology in the Conservation Department o f the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and on wood conservation in the Department o f Ethnology in the University o f Warsaw. He supervised over 80 master theses and 10 doctoral dissertations. He has trained more than 2000 experts in the field of the protection of buildings, including numerous monument conservators. Professor Jerzy Ważny has often been invited abroad as an expert, conference perticipant or visiting professor (Australia, New Zealand). He initiated and organized 16 international Symposia on Wood Protection, which have been held for 32 years biennially. According to Professor Jozef Kochman, a fu ll member of the Polish Academy o f Sciences, Professor Jerzy Ważny created a school of wood protection highly influential both in Poland and abroad.

At the beginning of the 60s, the development of Polish-Italian cultural, scientific and technical-scientifi c relations, that already emerged long before, was strengthened. The relevance of those ties was shown by signing on March 25, 1965 of a bilateral cultural agreement (convention, ratified not until 1969) and inter-governmental agreement on technical-scientific co-operation (February 27, 1960). From the very beginning of this period, cultural, scientifi c and technical-scientifi c co-operation programmes were signed. Bilateral co-operation was taking place also beyond the offi cial framework of inter-governmental programmes. An important sign of enlivening of these relations was the opening of an Italian reading room in Warsaw in 1965. The main Polish People’s Republic’s institution dealing with promotion of Polish culture, science and technology in Italy was The Scientifi c Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, vigorously directed by Professor Bronisław Biliński. From the turn of the 50s and 60s, Polish-Italian cultural contacts were becoming more and more intensive. Polish theatre, cinematography, the arts, classical music and ballet stayed in Italy for good. They gained wide recognition, which were proved by numerous prizes at festivals organised in Italy. More and more fruitful were Polish-Italian scientifi c and technical-scientifi c contacts. Polish and Italian scientists were obtaining opportunities to participate in bilateral scientifi c exchange and visit both countries. In this period relations were established, i.a., among the Polish Academy of Sciences, Italian Accademia dei Lincei and National Council for Scientific Research (CNR), between the Polish Federation of Engineering Associations (NOT) and Federation of Scientific and Technical Associations in Milan (FAST), and between the Italian Atomic Energy Committee (CNEN) and Polish Government Plenipotentiary for Utilization of Atomic Energy. In addition, there was ongoing co-operation among universities of both countries.

The article discusses Jagiellonian University Professor Adam Vetulani’s efforts to reactivate the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences between 1956 and 1958, which failed due to the hostility of the communist authorities and the praesidium of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. For his activities, Vetulani paid not only with a long-term ban on foreign travels (to the detriment of Polish sciences) and the fact that he did not become a full member of the Polish Academy of Sciences but also with long-term surveillance by the communist security services.

Artykuł omawia działania profesora Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Adama Vetulaniego na rzecz reaktywacji Polskiej Akademii Umiejętności w latach 1956–1958. Zakończyły się one niepowodzeniem na skutek nieprzychylności komunistycznych władz i prezydium Polskiej Akademii Nauk w Warszawie. Za swoją działalność Vetulani zapłacił nie tylko wieloletnimi zakazami wyjazdów zagranicznych (ze szkodą dla polskiej nauki) oraz tym, że nie został członkiem rzeczywistym PAN, ale także długotrwałą inwigilacją przez PRL-owskie służby bezpieczeństwa.

The paper is concerned with the development of legal history research in Poland in the post-Stalinist period, up to the end of the 1960s. The legal historians actually engaged themselves in the academic research of the time and developed, to the extent to which that was possible, the contacts with the western University centres. What was published were the significant handbooks and monographs. The publications laid out the new important research lines. The paper reviews, in a synthetic way, the interests of the authors of the publications both in the areas of Polish constitutional and legal history as well as in the field of general history of state and law. The publications of the most important authors were presented.

The State Zoological Museum, established in 1928, inherited and developed the legacy of the Zoological Cabinet of the University of Warsaw (existing since 1818). The Cabinet’s collection had been gathered for decades and belonged to eminent personages not only in Poland but also in Europe. The Museum and its collections were threatened many times: first by a great fire in 1935, then by the German attack on Warsaw in 1939 and subsequent occupation, as well as by the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising and the destruction of the city. After the post-war reconstruction of the Museum, it was time to function in a new political reality, in which the most significant change for this institution was the establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences. A planned inclusion of the State Zoological Museum in the structures of the newly-founded Polish Academy of Sciences meant that the scientists had to face a dilemma: in exchange for research funds and career development opportunities, they were expected to show favour to the communists and readiness to implement the idea of socialism. In the background of this process, numerous scientific conferences took place, where controversial visions of the future of biological sciences clashed. This process resulted in the transformation of the State Zoological Museum into the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
