This text is devoted to the Political Parties Archive [Archiwum Partii Politycznych; http://archiwumpartiipolitycznych.pl] in the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The archive has been in operation since 1993 and is presently undergoing reorganization, which chiefly consists in digitalization. The author presents the idea behind the archive, its history, the classification of its resources, and above all, the information that can be found in it. The collected materials (printed, visual, online) provide information not only about the political parties currently operating in Poland (program documents, election campaigns, participation in social and political life) but also information on the period of systemic transformation and the formation of the democratic system from its beginnings, when opposition political circles in the Polish People’s Republic were working on plans for the future. The author emphasizes that the main characteristic of the archive is the activeness of its operators in obtaining materials (through queries to parties and state institutions, interviews with politicians, and monitoring election campaigns, including the archivization of audio-visual materials). The aim is to understand the mechanisms of political life. The Archive is supposed to have an educational function and by making its information accessible it should increase the transparency of political life.

This text concerns work connected with the organization of the Oral History Archive of Cieszyn Silesia [Archiwum Historii Mówionej Śląska Cieszyńskiego], an initiative combining academic research interests with the activism of the non-governmental sector. The archivization projects showcase the culture of Cieszyn Silesia on both sides of the national border dividing the region; they highlight the cultural pluralism of the past and the multi-faith nature of contemporary times. They also value women’s voices. The methodology of the projects consists in filming narrative interviews addressing important issues agreed upon by the research collective. Two films of oral history were produced on the basis of the material acquired. The entire enterprise is part of the movement of establishing social archives to protect cultural heritage by retrieving and preserving social memory, activating local communities, and conducting educational activities about the collected materials.This text concerns work connected with the organization of the Oral History Archive of Cieszyn Silesia [Archiwum Historii Mówionej Śląska Cieszyńskiego], an initiative combining academic research interests with the activism of the non-governmental sector.

This article concerns the archival enterprise at the Grodzka Gate-NN Theater Center in Lublin [Ośrodek „Brama Grodzka - Teatr NN”; http://teatrnn.pl] and those aspects of its operation that are connected with the artistic processing of the idea of an archive as a “memory ark.” The author discusses key elements of the archive’s form and function in connection with the Center’s social and educational activities, showing their relation to questions of cultural memory, memory as responsibility, the social dimension of memory, and ethical and artistic aspects of remembering (especially the remembrance and non-remembrance of victims of the Shoah).The article also reviews those works of the Center in which the form and function of the archive are translated into various realizations of “memory theater” (including “behind-the-scenes theater” inspired by the form of the archive, mysteries of memory, the expanded digital archive and its network infrastructure oriented on “memory work”, etc.)
