The text presents various forms of honouring distinguished historians associated with the Institute of History of the University of Wroclaw, reminding us that this is a tradition of several centuries. Among the most important and most frequently used forms is the issuing of jubilee books prepared by friends and alumni of the recipients, usually for round birthdays or work anniversaries. Scholars are also recognised by awarding them the highest academic title of doctor honoris causa. Another way of honouring, but also commemorating, distinguished scholars is to name lecture theatres and streets after them and to choose their names as patrons of student societies. In addition, state and departmental decorations are not so much a form of commemoration as a form of appreciation for contributions to science, research, the development of a particular field of knowledge and the education of young people. The range of ways of expressing appreciation, respect for achievements and maintaining the memory of a given figure is quite numerous. All of them are an expression of recognition of scientific activity, but also an appreciation of the ethical attitude and character traits of the honoured person.
