The journal “Archiwa Biblioteki i Muzea Kościelne” was established in 1959 as a magazine of the Institute of Church Archives, Libraries and Museums. At first it was a quarterly to the number 4, and then it turned into a semi-annual magazine. The founder and the first editor-in-chief was Rev. Professor Stanislaw Librowski. He divided the journal into several thematic sections referring to: the Institute of Church Archives, Libraries and Museums; magazines; archives; libraries; museums; auxiliary sciences; hagiography; biographical materials and a variety of issues. In the 1990s, along with the successive editors the structure of the journal was changed. From volume 73 (200) the periodical contains the following topics: symposia, studies and materials, reviews and news, a bibliographic review. Since the bibliography includes the articles that appeared in the issues of the journal before the establishment of the current structure, they were assigned to the currently existing sections.
