Academic literature has not yet demonstrated the importance of minute books of faculty meetings as a source of information about the practice of teaching in the Polish People’s Republic. Therefore, this topic needs to be investigated in more detail. The 43 minute books of faculty meetings in teacher training colleges were used as research material. These schools produced more than 200,000 graduates—elementary school teachers who taught millions of Polish children. Among the diverse academic applications of the information contained in the minutes of faculty meetings, the author selected those which, from the point of view of the practice of teaching in the Polish People’s Republic, were most often discussed at faculty meetings: curricula and their content, teaching strategies (methods and techniques), and educational outcomes. An overview of the work of teacher training colleges from the perspective of the subject matter of faculty meetings shows that the material collected in the books is enormous and should be considered by any scholar researching the history of education in the Polish People’s Republic.

Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie – Uniwersytetowi Jagiellońskiemu w 600. rocznicę założenia uczelni

On the occasion of the 660th foundation anniversary of the Academy of Krakow, which fell in 2023, the article takes a closer look at a theme that has not been explored in the academic literature, namely the contribution of the staff of Poland’s oldest national museum in Krakow to the celebrations marking the 600th anniversary of the academy in 1964 with an exhibition entitled Art in Krakow, 1350–1550. It was a monumental exhibition, which is worth recalling so as not to erase the traces of this initiative. The curator of the exhibition for the 600th foundation anniversary of the Jagiellonian University was Maria Kopff. In organising it, she worked with great dedication and devotion, and it was thanks to this exhibition that she gained great professional and moral authority in the museum community, and on many occasions her opinions influenced the most important museum issues in Poland. It was the exhibition that synchronised monuments of sacred art with monuments of a secular nature in a manner unprecedented in the Polish People’s Republic, all in an attempt to show the luxuriant development of Polish art from the 14th to the 16th century. Although the content of the exhibition was close to the so-called ‘historical policy’, exposing, among other things, the secular character of Cracovian art, it undoubtedly presented the enormous achievements of Polish national heritage.

Kampania polska 1939 roku. Przegląd koncepcji i sposobów jej prezentacji w historiografii i edukacji historycznej XX wieku

Anita Młynarczyk-Tomczyk

History Notebooks, Issue 148 (1), 2021, pp. 123-142

The article is part of a publication series devoted to the terminological and historiographic aspects of the Polish campaign of 1939. A completely new approach to this important event is the focus on its presence in historical education of the 20th and 21st century. The Polish Campaign of 1939 has held a special place in the historiographic narrative and school curricula alike. Its depictions – both academic and popular-scientific – have been and still remain compatible with each other. At certain times however – especially during the ideological assault of the 1950s – historical education diverged from historiography, creating an anti-German and pro-Soviet image. After 1989, the narrative of the Polish campaign of 1939 changed significantly and the “forgotten threads” were also introduced. This event still occupies a leading place in the so-called historical policy. It has also been put on a pedestal in historical education of school students, although for a period of several years in the early 21st century it was largely absent due to the limited number of topics from the recent history included in the school curriculum.
