Biblioteki szkolne w gimnazjach rządowych Kraju Nadwiślańskiego. Część 1. Geneza, cele, zadania i kwestie organizacyjne (1867–1879), s. 11–36 / Libraries in state-run gymnasiums of the Kingdom of Poland under Russian rule. Part 1. Origins, objectives, tasks and organizational issues (1867–1879), p. 11–36
The aim of this article is to explain the role of secondary school libraries in the process of unifying the educational system of the Kingdom of Poland with that of the Russian Empire between Dmitry Tolstoy’s educational reforms (1867–1880) and the Revolution of 1905. The first part outlines the origins of these libraries by tracing their history in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and in Russian-controlled Poland. Subsequently, it explores how the functions of school libraries were defined in the Circular of the Warsaw Educational District after 1867. Finally, it discusses organizational issues such as the funding of library collections, methods of acquiring new books, and the changing roles of Polish and Russian books in the library holdings.

The aim of this article is to explain the role of secondary school libraries in the process of unifying the educational system of the Kingdom of Poland with that of the Russian Empire between Dmitry Tolstoy’s educational reforms (1867–1880) and the Revolution of 1905. In the second part of the article, I intend to characterize secondary school libraries during the years 1879–1905, taking into account the size of collections, methods of classification and cataloguing, their ideological profile, and finally (thanks to the Library borrowers register retained in the Lublin State Archive) their reception among students of the Boys Government-run Gymnasium in Lublin.
„Głos Polski”: profil i publicystyka polskiego czasopisma w Rosji doby I wojny światowej, s. 73–112 / Głos Polski: Profile and feature writing of the Polish magazine in Russia during WW I, p. 73–112
The paper’s topic is Głos Polski, one of the major Polish magazines published in Russia during WW I. The Author attempts at outlining the beginnings of the periodical presenting intellectual biographies of its editors (Remigiusz Kwiatkowski, Henryk Lewestam) and its major associates (Jozef Kuczyński, Ignacy Baranowski, Jerzy Kurnatowski), to finally discuss the magazine’s feature writing while reconstructing its political profile. The main body of the sources on which the article is based is constituted by Głos Polski annuals to be found in Polish research libraries. Subsequently, other sources and findings of the scholars investigating Poles’ writing and their intellectual life in the early 20th century dispersed in various detailed studies are taken into consideration.
