Tadeusz Białecki regional achievements are extensive. They include the whole presentday Western Pomerania geographically, and chronologically from the early Middle Ages up to the present moment, with the exception of modern history. A special place in Tadeusz Białecki’s academic research was occupied by Chojna, with which he had been bound emotionally since 1953. Working in the Szczecin Library he looked after the librarians from the Chojna District. He began his academic career from the demography of that District. Tadeusz Białecki’s features as a scholar-regionalist are focused in his ‘Chojna’ achievements. Not only did he do town research, but also he inspired it; for example, he was the editor of the fi rst Polish-language monograph of the Chojna District. Professor Białecki was a keen photographer as well; in his archives there is an impressive collection of photographs of Western Pomerania starting from the 1950s. His photographic passion was the impulse to produce the fi rst photographic album of the Chojna region. The regional activity of Professor Tadeusz Białecki does not cease in spite of his advanced age. He publishes his memoirs in the pages of ‘Chojna Yearbook’ (Rocznik Chojeński), and he participates in the discussion on creating a Chojna Museum. The Chojna fascinations are still vivid in his memory, so in 2013 ‘Chojna Yearbook’ honoured Professor Białecki with an occasional interview with him.

When Tadeusz Białecki fi nished his university studies in 1958, he decided to settle in Szczecin which he had visited in complicated circumstances several times before; as a result he has been living here for the last 55 years. For all that time Professor Białecki has expanded and broadened his historical knowledge; and he has concentrated his academic interest on Szczecin, at the same time promulgating the acquired knowledge. The article presents the research space (editorial as well) of T. Białecki in which he dealt with the West-Pomeranian capital; as he worked in the Regional and Municipal Public Library, later in the ‘West-Pomeranian Journal’ (Przegląd Zachodniopomorski), and fi nally as he created his masterwork, ‘Szczecin Encyclopaedia’ (Encyklopedia Szczecina). In the meantime, he wrote a few monographs and hundreds of articles concerning the history of Szczecin, and several collective works, among which a special attention should be paid to the Fourth Volume of the ‘History of Szczecin’ (Historia Szczecina), edited together with Professor Zygmunt Silski. Extensive parts of both the ‘History of Szczecin’ and ‘Szczecin Encyclopaedia’, were written by Professor Białecki, but what is more he set the tone of the narrative related to the history of the city to which he has been attached emotionally and intellectually. It seems quite positive that the academic production of Professor Białecki is of great value and no future researcher could ignore it.
