Tadeusz Białecki was employed in the West-Pomeranian Institute when that institution had already established cooperation with scientifi c institutions of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). When he became Director of the Institute those contacts strengthened and turned into an important element of scientifi c works undertaken by the Szczecin academic community. The cooperation consisted in undertaking common research topics in the sphere of history, sociology, economics, culture. The height of that cooperation was in the 1970s, and resulted in many publications and numerous articles published in the Institute’s ‘West-Pomeranian Journal (Przegląd Zachodniopomorski). The topics undertaken were interdisciplinary in character, contributing to the pioneer research track at a nationwide scale. However, the proportion between the informative value and the propagandist element of those publications and their overall value still need analysing. The texts on the GDR read today are visibly full of political factors and in accord with the political correctness of the time, which distorted the presented image so much that those texts are just testimony to the times they were written, and at present they should be interpreted accordingly. On the other hand, it should be remembered that they constituted a basis for cooperation thanks to which it was possible to get access to the GDR’s archives, and in many cases without it writing about the history of Western Pomerania would hardly have been possible for Polish authors.

The article presents the sources of inspiration, assumptions and implementation of a long-term (2009–2018) project devoted to the biography of Professor Józef Kostrzewski, a leading 20th-century Polish prehistorian. This project was implemented by the author of the article as an employee of the Archaeological Museum in Poznań, and later, following retirement, as a worker in the Poznań Branch of the Archives of the Polish Academy of Sciences. As a result of an extensive archival and bibliographic query, a number of new facts about the life and work of the Professor were unearthed, especially regarding his activities outside the academic field of interest (including a number of social, patriotic and religious initiatives, often carried out within the underground movement, since Poland existed only as a partitioned land). The results obtained will be soon presented in a monograph entitled Żywot długi, pracowity i spełniony. Profesor Józef Kostrzewski (1885–1969) – prehistoryk, patriota, Europejczyk, which is underway since 2014 in co-authorship with Dr. Jarmila Elżbieta Kaczmarek.
