Among the partly preserved records o f the Society for Protection o f Historical Monuments there are to be found five designs of an Inventory Seal o f the art collection at the Royal Castle in Warsaw. The designs, dating from 1916, are the work of W. Żyliński, a rather unknown architect. The author of the report does not plunge into a detailed description o f the said projects, his attention being focussed on their symbolic meaning which reflected the then political situation o f the Polish nation, its mood and striving for the recovery o f independence. In four designs the date 1915 had been inserted. It was meant to memorize the moment of the Society — a Polish institution set up in the Russian sector o f parti tioned Poland, 1906, upon the initiative of the Society'— having taken over the care o f the Royal Castle in Warsaw after 85 years o f the country’s servitude. The key-note of two designs is the crown o f King Sigismund III, bearing the inscription: „The Royal Castle” to remind it was during his reign that the Warsaw Castle became the residence o f the King o f Poland. In one of the projects of the seal there is an image o f a white eagle — referring to that being Poland’s emblem in the times of King Stanisław August Poniatowski, in another one, a bi-partite shield with the white eagle of the Jagiellonian dynasty, and the arms of Lithuania — to remind the idea of the Commonwealth o f Two Nations which survived throughout the period o f partitions. The only design of the Society’s seal put into effect represents a stylized fourleaf clover inscribed into a circle and with the Society’s initials in its arms and centre. It was that seal that was used for stamping archival records o f the Society for Protection of Historical Monuments.

The Society for the Protection of Historical Monuments was established on 17 January 1974 as an heir and continuator of the Society for the Protection of Monuments of the Past which from 1906 to 1944 made a significant contribution to Polish culture. The prime goals of the Society’s statue are: 1. stimulating social awareness of the rank and role of historical monuments conceived as national culture as well as of the ensuing need for social protection over them; 2. encouraging social initiative and embarking upon undertakings which strive towards the protection and conservation of historical monuments. The realization of these tasks required the founding of 24 departments in various regions of Poland and 6 commissions dealing with i.a. salvaging historical cemeteries of various creeds, relics of Jewish culture and artworks of the Eastern rite Church. The Society also organizes scientific sessions and symposia on the protection and conservation of historical monuments; it publishes studies popularizing knowledge about the national heritage, conducts training for teachers and guardians of monuments and organizes Days of European Heritage.
