For the past fifty years Maria and Andrzej Szypowski have delighted us with their magnificent publications, many of which are about Warsaw. The first in a series of books inviting the reader to visit the oldest part of the city is the album Gdy wchodzisz w progi Katedry... (As You Enter the Cathedral...). The successive “Warsaw” publication – Gdy wchodzisz na Stare Miasto... (As You Enter the Old Town...) – reminds us that the year 2000 marked the twentieth anniversary of the introduction of the Warsaw Old Town onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. A following volume in the series in question is entitled Gdy wchodzisz na Nowe Miasto... (As You Enter the New Town...). The inimitable style of all the publications has been achieved by combining outstanding and precise information with lavish illustrations, and by presenting not merely historical monuments or the story of their reconstruction but also by depicting the connections between Old Warsaw and the life of the town’s residents. Extraordinary skill and remarkable sensitivity are required to convey the local atmosphere by resorting to word and image. The three volumes have reappeared under the joint title: Trylogia Staromiejska (The Old Town Trilogy). Issued in a smaller and more convenient format, they are available in a decorative box and accompanied by a supplement – Tablice Pamięci (Memory Tables). This fusion of particular parts of the series into a whole produces an ever more distinct awareness of impressive variety and an excellent selection of illustrations composed not only of photographs but also numerous reproductions of engravings, paintings and drawings. Many photographs have been published for the first time. Compared with earlier iconography, they depict transformations affecting space and architecture, as well as the daily life of this most ancient fragment of Warsaw.

In Poland celebrations of the International Historical Monuments Protection Day entail a presentation of monuments of particular significance for world heritage as well as awarding persons contributing to the protection of the monuments and the social popularisation of the idea (the prize of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers). The most recent laureates were Maria and Andrzej Szypowscy, authors of numerous initiatives and campaigns conducted for the sake of the protection of universally acclaimed monuments. The International Historical Monuments Protection Day is also an excellent occasion for solving competitions associated with a widely comprehended protection of historical monuments. The “Cherished Monument” competition distinguished 16 objects which had regained their former splendour thanks to the endeavours of caretakers and owners: parishes, municipal offices, firms, and private persons. The “For the protection of historical monuments” golden badges granted by the Minister of Culture were presented to police officers, border guards and customs officers for their special efforts in combating crimes perpetrated against cultural property. The Rev. Janusz Stanisław Pasierb award, established by the Main Board of the Association of Conservators of Historical Monuments, was granted to Prof. Wiktor Zin for his activity involving the protection and conservation of historical monuments (individual prize), to Rev. Waldemar Pytel and Rev. Roman Kluz, vicars of Protestant parishes in Świdnica and Jawor, and to Ulrich Schaff, architect and conservator. Awards and distinctions in a competition held by the General Conservator of Historical Monuments and the Association of Conservators of Historical Monuments were presented to students and young researchers for best scientific studies, projects and popularisation publications dealing with the protection of historical monuments, museum sciences and historical garden premises. The Botanical Garden in Warsaw and the St. John the Baptist Metropolitan Seminary were awarded for their protection of historical gardens. The ceremony took place at the Museum Palace in Wilanów.
