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.
