Prof. Irena Swaczyna, PhD, was an eminent specialist in the field of historic; art, craft and technology of wooden objects and objects which have wood in them, but foremost she specialized in historical wooden furniture. In 1993 she defended her habilitation thesis at the Faculty of Wood Technology at the Warsaw University (if Life Sciences (SGGW). She received the title of professor in 2001. She was the thesis supervisor of two doctoral dissertations and the examiner of 14, she was also the thesis advisor of ca. 160 diploma theses. Being the co-creator of the historic wood conservation and restoration specialization at the Faculty of Wood Technology, and serving as the head of Academic Council of this specialization, she designed its teaching programs and organized the didactic process. She cooperated with many museums. She was an excellent educator who was whole-heartedly devoted to students with whom she was able to engage in a discourse free from generation animosity. What she valued most was the mission of academic teaching, whose aim - according to her, and in conformance with the program of historic wood conservation and restoration specialization - was saving the Polish cultural heritage, present in all the work crafted in wooden material.

„Antox” is one from a fairly wide range of fungicides manufactured by IiNCO Building Chemistry Division, Foland and is known as preservative specially dev e loped for preservation of timber constructions in ancient buildings. Although it has been thought as .a medium for use in not polychrome wood material a series of tests and experiments was carried out with the aim to check the usability of this preparation for preservation of polychrome objects. It has been found in the course of tests conducted that crystallization pentachlorophenol salts on the surface of saturated wood has destructive effect on the painting itself. However, a 0,5 to 1.0 per cent admixture of dibutyl phtalate or tricresyl phosphate can prevent the superficial salt crystallization thus enabling ,,Antox” to be used for preservatdng the objects coated with distemper paints,, and, though w ith every possible precautions, for those coated with gold, too. On the basis of tests conducted it has been found further that the above preparation under no circumstances could find application for objects coated with oil paints since the set of solvents present in „Antox” softens and even solves both the paint and the newly placed varnish.

On 23rd August 2010, prof. Jerzy Ważny, PhD, passed away. He was an outstanding researcher, a specialist in protecting wood from the destructive effects of biotic agents, the founder of this discipline in Poland, and the creator of the Polish education institution involved in this field. He was a full member of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and of many other international and national scientific circles, who was honored by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage with a Golden Badge for the Protection of Historic Objects. He was connected with the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) and ran the Division of Wood Protection, which was created by him from scratch at the Faculty of Wood Technology. He occupied himself with the restoration of historic wood, conducted classes in microbiology at the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts (ASP) in Warsaw, and lectures about the protection of wooden historic objects for the students of ethnology at the Warsaw University. His assistance for open-air museums was of particular value, as the restoration of wooden historic objects was a major issue for them. The academic achievement of the professor comprises over 450 academic publications; his didactic achievement is supervising over 100 masters and 11 doctoral degree students.

Pieta, the conservation of which has been described in this article comes from the church under the invocation of Bishop Stanislavus in Wielgomłyny. Unfortunately no documents have survived concerning the time of the creation of the sculpture and the experts have set the date of its origin for 1400—1450. The conservation and the reconstruction of the Pieta were done by Ilia lliew and Lucjanna Młyńska from the Workshop for the Conservation of Art Works in Kielce (a branch office of the State Ateliers for the Conservation of Cultural Property). The object was in a very bad condition. Wood's structure deteriorated markedly as a result of a natural process of the material ageing, infection with insects and mechanical impairing. Apart from that, some of the details were missing. The whole structure was cracked. Polychromy .poorly preserved, was done on a chalk and gypsum base in a distemper technique. It also scaled and powdered off. Following detailed studies a conservation programme was put forward and approved then by the Commission for Conservation. According to this programme, the following treatment was carried out: — technical conservation of the original substance of the object, i.e. the removal of all secondary make-ups and their replacement with new elements in a style close to the original one; — reconstruction of missing elements based on similar presentations in, i.a., one of the churches in Wrocław; — colour merger of new details; — assembling of reconstructed elements in a way which would allow for their removal, if found necessary; — chemical protection against insects and bacteria.
