As monument conservation is very scarcely represented in the Polish Academy o f Sciences, we are especially pleased by the fact that at the 77th Session o f the General Assembly on the 6th of December 1997 Professor Jerzy Ważny was appointed a corresponding member of the Academy. He is an outstanding specialist in the field o f wood preservation, the organizer and head of the only Department o f Wood Protection in Poland in the Main School o f Agriculture in Warsaw. Most o f his scientific and conservation work has been devoted to the problems o f wooden monuments. Professor Jerzy Ważny graduated from the Forestry Department o f the Main School o f Agriculture in Warsaw in 1950. He specialized in pathology and conservation of wood under the supervision o f Professor Jozef Kochman, a fu ll member of the Polish Academy o f Sciences. In 1957 he received the doctoral degree in the Department o f Wood Technology o f MSA, in 1962 he completed the habilitation procedures. In 1969 he was nominated as associate professor, and in 1976 as fu ll professor. In the same year he was elected a fu ll member o f the International Academy o f Wood Science (IAWS) in Vienna. He is also a member o f the International Research Group on Wood Preservation in Stockholm and the IUFRO group (Working Group on Wood Protection) in Rotorua, New Zealand. He worked very actively in the former Comecon Working Group for Monument Conservation in Warsaw and in Wood Research Coordination Centre in Bratislava. For many years he was a member and the chairman of the Scientific Council o f the former Ministry o f Forestry and Wood Industry. He has been a member o f the Scientific Council o f Monument Conservation Workshops, the Foundation for the Protection o f Monuments, and the chairman o f the Scientific Council o f the Centre for Conservation and Research over Monuments. In the years 1960-63 he was a counsellor o f the Minister o f Building Industry in the field of the protection o f b u ildings. Since 1956 he has been the chairman o f the International Committee o f Wood Protection. In 1990 he received the prestigious international „Ron Cockroft Award" from Sweden. He is also a laureate of many awards granted by the Minister o f Science, Higher Education and Technique, the Rector o f the Main School o f Agriculture, the Minister of National Education, as well as o f the „Meritorious Cultural Activist" medal. Professor Jerzy Ważny is the author of over 280 scientific publications. More than 90 o f them have been published in the leading journals connected with the field, such as „Holzforschung", „Hots- und Werstoff", „Material und Organismen”, „W o o d Science and Technology”, „W o o d and Fibre Science”, „International Biodeterioration", „Holztechnologie", „Chimia Dreviesiny” and others. His research work is devoted to the complex field of pathology and conservation of wood appearing as raw material, in buildings, historical monuments and works o f art. It is concerned with diagnostics o f phisiography and biology o f wood-destroying organisms, their in fluence on the technical parameters of wood, methods of conservation and methods o f protection. A special recent achievement is the modernization of toxicometric methods o f wood protection through introducing the computer estimation o f results for the first time in the world and applying numerical analysis in the diagnostics of wood-destroying fungi. A detailed presentation o f Professor Ważny's and his Department's works can be found in the fourth issue o f „Ochrona Zabytkow" from 1991. Professor Jerzy Ważny, himself or with co-workers, appraised as an expert over 9000 objects infected by fungi or insects, including a vast number o f mobile and immobile monuments. He was a supervisor or consultant in the conservation of numerous treasures of culture in Warsaw and all over the country. For many o f them detailed conservation projects were prepared. Some, such as the Palace in Nieborow or the Palace in Wilanow, were constantly supervised throughout their reconstruction. For many years the Museum of Folk A rchitecture in Sanok, the Museum o f Lublin Countryside and other Skansen museums were offered continuous assistance. Professor Ważny has also been involved in pedagogical work. He has had lectures on forest fitopathology and microbiology in the Forestry Department of MSA, on wood protection and conservation in the Department of Wood Technology, as well as on conservation microbiology in the Conservation Department o f the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and on wood conservation in the Department o f Ethnology in the University o f Warsaw. He supervised over 80 master theses and 10 doctoral dissertations. He has trained more than 2000 experts in the field of the protection of buildings, including numerous monument conservators. Professor Jerzy Ważny has often been invited abroad as an expert, conference perticipant or visiting professor (Australia, New Zealand). He initiated and organized 16 international Symposia on Wood Protection, which have been held for 32 years biennially. According to Professor Jozef Kochman, a fu ll member of the Polish Academy o f Sciences, Professor Jerzy Ważny created a school of wood protection highly influential both in Poland and abroad.

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.
