The beginning of archaeology activities in the Centre for Documentation of Monuments are identical with the beginning of one of the most important conservation programmes in the history of Polish archaeology, founded in the late 1970s – the Archaeological Photo of Poland Programme. Due to the significance of the Archaeological Photo of Poland (AZP) programme, it was included within the “Monuments of Culture – the Source of the Nation’s Awareness” programme, thus ensuring its central financing. During this time, the post for archaeological matters, later developed into the Archaeology Department was founded at the CDM in Warsaw. The Archaeological Conservation Studies at the CDM founded in 1987 was the first attempt at training archaeological conservation service staff. Until the 1990s the Archaeological Department of the CDM performed tasks related to the collection, opinion making, and archiving of documentation from Archaeological Photo of Poland (AZP) research and the collection, analysis and archiving of decisions on the entry of archaeological stations into the register, as well as computerisation. On 14 October 2002, the Centre for the Protection of Historic Landscape was merged with the Centre for Documentation of Monuments into the National Centre for Research and Documentation of Monuments (NCRDM). The Office of Research Documentation on Warsaw and Mazovia which was comprised of the Archaeological Research Workshop was founded within the institution, and next, on 24 February 2004, it was extended by the independent Interdisciplinary Research Workshop. During this time, the NCRDM kept a central record of archaeological monuments. After 2004, the National Record, in the archaeological part, was sent to the Centre for the Protection of Archaeological Heritage. The institution was also founded in 2002, as the legal successor of the Centre for Rescue Archaeological Research (CRAR), created in 1995 after the ratification of the Malta Convention. It dealt with the protection and documentation of endangered cultural property, located on the territory of expressway and highway construction investments. On 1 October 2004, the Minister of Culture entrusts the CPAH with keeping of the national record of monuments in the part regarding the archaeological monuments. The merging of the CPAH and NCRDM took place on 1 January 2007. The newly founded institution was called the National Centre for Research and Documentation of Monuments (NCRDM), the Archaeology Department exists in its structure. On 15 February 2008, the organisational regulations were approved and the position of Deputy Director of Archaeology was terminated. The Archaeology Rescue Workshop, a part of the large Monument Protection Strategy Department, was also founded. The present organisational division of the National Heritage Board results from Regulation no. 16 of 6 August 2010. Subsequently, the Archaeological Department was founded in the structure of the Institution to carry out tasks in the area of collecting and disseminating knowledge on heritage, indication and dissemination of standards on the protection and conservation of monuments as well as shaping social awareness in the scope of values and the maintenance of cultural heritage. From 2009, the National Heritage Board has conducted a verification of the record of archaeological monuments. Information obtained during the verification is included in the national, geo-spatial database on monuments created by the National Heritage Board. Tasks in the scope of archaeology activities carried out in the National Heritage Board are a continuation of the actions started by the archaeologists at the CDM.

A SUMMARY OF A STATEMENT BY A. BILLERT The importance of article by J. Stankiewicz has been uuierlined by the author who is of opinion that it deserves the more attention owing to the fact alone that it deals wiih questions until now not dealt in any more comprehensive manner. Tin author of the present statement has focussed his attention on the problem of some kind of demarcation between the protected spatial settings coming from the past times and the modern architectural and town planning solutions. At the moment when it has come to a direct contact between these two kinds of settings a crisis has arisen in the range of preservation and protection of historical monuments having its background in changes occurring in social consciousness and culture as well as a crisis of the man’s civilizational environment and within it another crisis, this time the crisis of a town as such. The next problem considered by the author consists in transmission of components of culture; ho s tat os that under modern conditions the museum concept is more and more frequently rejected, nevertheless, in every-day practice we have constantly to do with processes of pronounced isolation of the so-called „historic space” from the modern „standardization” which, as a final consequence, leads to „musealisation” . The author of the present statement is in full agreement with J. Stankiewicz in his views concerning the need to create some kind of „sanitary barrior” between the „historic space” and that standardized. Taking an a ttitude towards J. Stankiewicz’s postulate rolating to interdesciplinarity required in conservator’s measures the author expresses a view that the protection of historical monuments exists only as a problem or activity and not as an independent scientific discipline since it in itself constitutes a choice of various specializations from both fields — i.e. technical sciences and humanities. In the field conservation are active the representatives of creative disciplines and reflections as to their activ ities arise in the field of art history, those of aesthetics or history of architecture. The so-called conservation activity is a kind of activity from the sphere of culture and art its evaluation, however, will in each separate case have two aspects — i.e. analytical and critical as well. Basing on the above conclusions the author is of opinion that the solution of problem of demarcation between two environments is to be found in the modern creative activity of developing the space as some kind of entity. From this point of view it seems not important to fight against a single standardized multi-storey point block of flats entering the historic space, but to fight fo preservation of the entire spa,ce. This means the end of a certain stage in protection of historical monuments and the advent of now ideas more dialectically handling the reality.
