In the late 1970s attempts were made to create a national system of scientific information (SINTO). In 1977, within the confines of this project, the National Library of Poland, the Jagiellonian Library, and the National Ossoliński Institute came up with a ‘National Library Resources’ project, which aimed at protecting resources ‘created by Polish people in the Polish language, or discussing issues connected with Poland; containing information about the intellectual heritage of Poland, it’s history and culture, and Polish contributions to worldwide civilisation’ by microfilming them. At the same time, the Polish Librarians’ Association used microfilming to conduct the first complex research in libraries. Questionnaires show that only the National Library of Poland conducted a nationwide program for protecting historic writings and bringing together the Polish press. Thanks to a microfilming project started in the 1950s by Andrzej Wyczański, and later continued by Konrad Zawadzki, by the end of 1970 the Institute of Microfilm Collection (ZZM) of the National Library of Poland held 112 000 units, while 150 other libraries questioned had gathered 78 000 units in total. Large libraries were included in order to intensify the security of the program. Earlier cooperation between the National Library of Poland, the Jagiellonian Library, and the National Ossoliński Institute in making the National Library Resources, became a reason for creating the National Microfilm Resources and Central Microfilm Catalogue. Its core was supposed to be the resources of the ZZM. Based on regional divisions, a further plan for microfilming and exchanging copies was made. The Jagiellonian Library took responsibility for the Cracovian and former Western Galician collections. The National Ossoliński Institute took care of Wrocław and the Eastern Galicia regions. As for the National Library of Poland, it was responsible for microfilming editions from Warsaw and the surrounding areas, and periodicals before 1800. Moreover, thanks to this division of work, the ZZM could protect new prints and documents of social life to a greater extent. Unfortunately, the National Microfilm Resources and Central Microfilm Catalogue, as well as the SINTO system and the National Library Resources, remained only as theoretical concepts, and were never realized.

The introduction of the article refers to the general historical background of photography including the examples of application in the humanistic study, and the development of reprography globally, and in Poland. Furthermore, it also touches upon the genesis and initial operations of the Archives, Libraries and Church Museums Centre of the Catholic University of Lublin, the Pontifical Institute of Religious Studies and the National Library’s Microfilm Station. In the first part of the article, the cooperation of the National Library with a few of the church institutions inter alia the Archives of the Franciscan Monastery in Warsaw, the Archives and Diocesan Library in Plock, the Archives of Cracow Cathedral Chapter, the Archives of the Chapter in Wroclaw, the Library of Provost Collegiate Chapter of Łowicz, the Library of the Catholic University of Lublin and the Archdiocesan Library in Gniezno has been elaborated upon. Collection sets kept in custody by the aforementioned institutions were subject to the programme of protection of the most valuable pieces of literature, that had been implemented since 1950. Within the framework of the programme, fully financed by the National Library, manuscripts, old prints and music collections were lent and microfilmed. At the end of the fifties of 20th Century the talks with Primate Wyszyński on the continuation of microfilming of church collections were undertaken. It caused the security services to respond. Some of the staff members, inter alia Zofia Rozanow, were dismissed from the National Library, having been given the so called „wolf tickets”. Ealier the manager Andrzej Wyczański had been dismissed. On top of that at the beginning of the sixties of 20th Century the organisational structure of the Station was broken down and divided into two separate institutes – the Microfilm Collections Institute and the Reprographic Institute. Despite these problems, the process of microfilming manuscripts and old prints from church institutions was not abandoned. Furthermore, after 1962, the National Library launched the project of microfilming the Polish press, which proved that the small seminar libraries preserved newspapers and magazines to a greater extent than large libraries. After 1989 the National Library started to cooperate also with Polonia Centres including inter alia the Marianes Priests’ Museum in Fawley Court nearby London. Moreover, thanks to the acquisition of a portable microfilm camera in 1994, several field trips were organised, including the trips to church libraries. The second part of the article reveals the effects of the process of microfilming the collections found in the church institutions by the National Library. The text has been divided into manuscripts, old prints, music collections and press, according to the types of librarian sets. Bills of quantities have been provided and this part of the resources kept in custody of the Microfilm Collections Institute has been characterised and typified. The research has indicated that more than 1900 manuscripts from 32 church institutions, 565 old prints from 37 church institutions, 66 prints and 1537 musical manuscripts from 35 church institutions and almost 70 magazines titles from 10 church institutions were microfilmed.
