On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the January Uprising there appeared the idea of the realisation of a project of collecting information about the war graves of the insurrectionists of the period 1863-1864 located within the boundaries of the present-day Małopolska voivodeship. During the course of the collection of the materials there appeared the necessity of locating in Poland the war graves of those who headed to join the uprising from the villages and towns of Małopolska. The resources kept by the voivodeship offices proved extremely helpful in the realisation of this endeavour. In Poland about 540 graves of insurrectionists (individual and collective graves) are protected by the state – i.e. graves of insurrectionists who perished, died due to the wounds they received, were killed as war prisoners or were executed according to the sentences of the Russian summary courts. In the area of the Małopolska voivodeship 29 structures of this type are preserved (23 collective graves and 6 individual graves). In other regions of the country the presence of one individual and 13 collective war graves in which those who perished originated from the Małopolska region was established. On the basis of the materials that were collected more than one hundred names of the insurrectionists who were buried there were established as well. The search is in progress; the present article describes the state of knowledge as of December 2015.

The article is devoted to the places commemorating the Krzeszowice participants of Polish insurrection activities during the January Uprising (1863-1864). To observe the 150th anniversary of the January Uprising outbreak, the present article attempts to collect the information concerning traces of the Uprising in the Krzeszowice region. Although there was no military activity in the region, weapons were collected, volunteers set out from here, and this is where wounded participants of the fights were treated. Krzeszowice and the adjoining areas were the places where the participants of the Uprising and the exiles to Siberia spent the final years of their lives. The article indicates places of remembrance and the insurgents’ tombs. Many of the tombs no longer exist; some of the inscriptions are indecipherable. War tombs in the region are inventoried, yet until now there have been no records of tombs holding the remains of Insurrections participants deceased after the military activities. In Krzeszowice, the insurgents’ tombs are the most visible testimony to independence-seeking activities.On account of the Potocki family’s activities, St. Rafal Jozef Kalinowski and priest Wincenty Smoczynski, the Krzeszowice region became one of the places supporting the participants of the Uprising – first the wounded, later Siberia returnees, for example priest Jozef Owsiany, or those returning from emigration, for example priest Seweryn Paszkowski Insurrection participants from the Krzeszowice region left documents and keepsakes – tokens of gratitude offered to the Potocki family by the insurgents, a collection of items commemorating St. Rafal Jozef Kalinowski’s insurrection activity (a patron of the exiled to Siberia, who entered the Barefoot Carmelites), the tokens of memory placed in the Monastery of Barefoot Carmelites in Czerna by the family of Joanna Podluska – a veteran of the Uprising, and items left by Florian Buzdygan, a local Uprising leader, currently in the collection of The Krzeszowice Region Society [Stowarzyszenie Miłośników Ziemi Krzeszowickiej].

The present article is the result of academic cataloguing of 1831 and 1863 veterans’ tomb in the RakowiceCemetery in Krakow. The tomb was founded in 1883 by the Society for the Support of the Veterans of 1831 [Towarzystwo Opiekinad Weteranami 1831 roku]. The first part is an attempt to present the tomb’s history and the origins of the construction, with reference to the later extension and the unfulfilled plan, from the late 1930s, to build a new monumental tomb. The description is based on the acts of the National Archive in Krakow [Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie] and on the 19th century Krakow press releases. The work also attempts to establish the number of the veterans who are buried in the tomb, because the memorial plaques which are preserved until the present day do not include all of the buried names. Some of the plaques’ inscriptions present distorted personal data: misspelled names, wrong dates of birth or death. It was possible to clarify these data on the basis of the acts located in the Municipal Cemetery Administration’s Archives of the Rakowice Cemetery in Krakow [Archiwum Zarządu Cmentarzy Komunalnych w Krakowie na Rakowicach]. An appendix which presents a list of 139 names of the veterans buried there and an inventory description of the 56 memorial plaques built into the walls of the tomb constitutes the second part of the article. The inventory provides the plaques’ sizes and the epigraphic edition of the epitaphic transcriptions. The data gathered may augment both biographical research on the lives of the participants of the Polish national uprisings living in the 19th century Krakow, as well as on the issue of cultivating the tradition of independence.
