The intention of the article is to present to readers the Palace of the President of the Republic of Poland with its garden. This ensemble is a well-known monument, valuable for the culture of our country. It is located on a Warsaw Scarp, embedded in the landscape of the downtown. Its rich history dates back to the seventeenth century and is associated with many personages, including Stanisław Koniecpolski and Michał Kazimierz II Radziwiłł. The palace and park complex represents a unique historical and natural value, which has been the reason for bringing it under protection. While the palace itself has been broadly described in the monograph by art historians Zbigniew Bania and Tadeusz Stefan Jaroszewski, the garden inextricably linked to it has not been a subject of extensive study and publications. Therefore, the authors of this paper, after having presented the history of the palace, analyse in more detail the shape and the design of the garden: from early baroque until present times. The primary difficulty they encounter is the modest and uncertain source base. Translated by Małgorzata Laskowska-Adamowicz

Aceremonial inauguration of an Internet project entitled Towns in Archival Documents, available on www.Polska.pl, took place in September this year in Bolimów. It is precisely this location, situated to the east of Łowicz, which inaugurated an Internet presentation of the history of more than ten historical towns in Poland. The www. pages contain 22 handwritten and cartographic documents made available by the State Archives thanks to the NASK Scientific and Academic Computer Network as well as extracted from sources in public and private collections for the purpose of recalling the former splendour and municipal traditions of Bolimów. The intention of the authors was to render possible access to archival sources, and in this way to popularise the history of Poland by using new media. In the near future, the history of other small towns and localities: Bochnia, Brzozów, Chrzanów, Czerwińsk, Kąty, Latowicz, Leżajsk, Łomża, Przeworsk, Skawina, Szreńsk, Warta, Wasilków, Wiśnicz and Zabłudów, will be presented in a similar manner and saved from oblivion. The open form of the presentation made it possible to expand the material by means of assorted souvenirs associated with the place of residence, such as family photographs or reminiscences, in order to encourage a more indepth acquaintance with local history and mould the feeling of local identity. The meeting which inaugurated the project was attended by about 150 invited guests, who were welcomed by Andrzej Jagura, the head of the commune of Bolimów. Brief speeches were given by Doc. Dr. hab. Daria Nałęcz, the Head Director of the State Archives, and Dr. Maciej Kozłowski, Director of the NASK Scientific and Academic Computer Network. The premises of the project were presented by Hubert Wajs, Director of the Main Archive of Old Acts in Warsaw, Marek Marzec, head of www.Polska.pl. Alojzy Orszulik, the bishop of the diocese of Łowicz, Prof. Dr. hab. Michał Kleiber, the Minister of Telecommunication, Ryszard Mikliński, Vice-Minister of Culture, and Senator Grażyna Staniszewska shared their observations with the other participants of the presentation. The meeting ended with a brief discussion which expressed appreciation for the organisers’ initiative and stressed the necessity of its further continuation and development. The presentation closed with artistic performances given by the local school children and students and an Old Polish reception.
