The voivodeship of Silesia contains more than a half of Polish monuments of technology, comprising the local cultural landscape and decisive for the identity of the region. Unfortunately, industrial monuments continue to be insufficiently appreciated and protected, and the technical degradation of old post-industrial buildings progresses at a disturbingly rapid rate. This is the reason why the publication Zabytki techniki Śląska. Przewodnik po wybranych obiektach (The Monuments of Technology in Silesia. A Guide to Select Objects) is regarded as extremely apt and necessary. The guidebook contains a list of 112 objects in 47 localities. Each of the entries (also in English and German) provides historical data about industrial enterprises. The authors discuss assorted branches of industry: ironworks, mines, textile works, breweries, the railway, etc., and outline the biographies of the creators of Silesian industry. The presented publication is the first attempt at identifying the varied monuments of technology in the voivodeship of Silesia, and comprises an important element in the preparation of a programme of industrial tourism, which for many objects could be the only chance of survival.

The article is a contribution to the debate on the effective protection and preservation of industrial structures and sites in the Old Polish Industrial Region (OPIR) that are of unique value and importance to the cultural heritage of Poland. The Kielce area has a long tradition of mining and metallurgy and can pride itself on numerous industrial heritage structures and sites. The historic production facilities represent all stages of development of iron and steel making from the Middle Ages to modern times. It is thus essential that they should be preserved and protected appropriately. The sites with complete well-preserved production lines, forging equipment, watermills, coal-powered blast furnaces, rolling mills and puddling mills form a unique historic landscape that could become a flagship attraction for the area, taking visitors through the history of metallurgy in Poland and Eur< >pe. The paper presents the history of the industrial structures and sites of the Old Polish Industrial Region, from their beginnings, through their glory days (operation and modernization) to their deterioration. It also suggests modern methods of conservation, including the establishment of eco-museums in the basins of the Kamienna, Czarna and Bobrza rivers. This would ensure that professional management, promotion and restoration/conservation services are provided not only to the existing museums of technology but also to a large number of historic structures remaining in ruin, for example, the Nietulisko Duże Rolling Mill, the Brody Reservoir Dam, the Bobrza Retaining Wall and Steelworks, and the blast furnaces at Kuzmaki and Samsonów. It is vital that whole areas of historic industrial sites should be conserved. The formation of these open-air museums would help to raise awareness of the uniqueness of the post-industrial heritage, promote the region as a tourist destination, and educate on science and technology by learning outdoors. translated by E.
