In 1790, the building was taken over by the town to be used as a lazaret, and later it became the headquarters of various government offices. In the 1870s, it was the location of the Town of Krakow Savings Fund, in 1884 the town hall handed the building over to the school of trade and artistic industry, which operated on the ground floor until 1906. In 1887, the Archives occupied part of the ground floor, and the whole building in 1906. Modernization of the building was carried out during 1906–1910, with the next one in the 1930s. In 1966, the townhouse was entered into the register of monuments. In the years 1971–1977 a major renovation was carried out which significantly changed the layout of the rooms.
The Krakow townhouse at Sienna 16 became the headquarters of the Archives of Former Records of the Town of Krakow in 1887 after a decision of the local town council. In 1952, the Archives were combined with the State Archive in Krakow, and the building became the headquarters of the Regional State Archives in Krakow, which, after a few name changes, is currently the National Archives in Krakow. The building was constructed in the years 1760– 1763 by the priest Jacek Łopacki, the archpriest of St. Mary’s Church, and the designer was the well-known architect Franciszek Placidi. In the middle of the XVI century, the grounds, which included a malt house and a small house, were left in the testament of the Krakow citizen Erazm Wunzam to the Holy Spirit Hospital. The hospital let the property to craftsmen, from 1713 Bractwo św. Łazarza (the Brotherhood of Saint Lazarus) by St. Mary’s Church, who took care of the poor. In 1755, father Łopacki bought the property from the Duchaks and constructed a paupers’ hospital for the St. Mary’s Church parish.

The article presents one fragment of the life story of the Polish-Russian language expert Jan Ignacy Baudouin de Courtenay (1845–1929) – the accusation made against the professor and his imprisonment in 1914 connected with the publication in Petersburg of his book «Территориальный и национальный признак в автономии» (1913), dedicated to nationalistic matters in the Russian Empire. On the basis of archival documents and press materials, the story of this imprisonment and the defence of J. Baudouin de Courtenay by Petersburg scientists, members of the Academy of Science, are presented. This was not the first victimisation of the learned professor in connection with his interest in national matters. In 1898, he visited the Slovak town of Turčianský Svätý Martin (currently named Martin), and after his return to Krakow, where he was employed as a professor of Jagiellonian University, he was charged by the Austrian powers with pan-Slavic agitation. As a result, his contract with the university was not extended.

This article describes the formation process in the nomenclature of Krakow’s streets remembering the development and successes of Krakow’s and Polish aviation. The first street names were introduced even during the inter-war years in the town itself and neighbouring towns, which were later included inside the administrative borders of Krakow. After the war, during the communist period, some street names were changed, but there were also new ones celebrating the main Krakow aviators – heroes of the fight during World War II. Together with the beginning of the transformations, during the rebirth of self government, new names appeared which honoured pilots of pre-war Polish aviation and those who later emigrated to the West. The process of naming the streets of Krakow after aviators and aviation is still ongoing, and over a dozen potential patrons are waiting for new unnamed roads, which the local council of the city of Krakow may give their name to. The greatest number of names dedicated to aviation in Krakow are located in the area of the former Rakowice – Czyżyny airport and in Bieżanow – Prokocim, where many aviators came from. In total, there are almost 50 out of a total of about 2800 street names. The street names dedicated to aviation and aviators also appear in other large cities in Poland or in towns with aviation traditions. However, when comparing the number and intensity of names, it turns out that among Polish cities, the most “saturated” by aviation names is Krakow. In the category of smaller towns, it is worth mentioning the small town of Dęblin, where the famous Polish Air Force Academy is located.

Stan budynków szkolnych powiatu żywieckiego na podstawie sprawozdania Rady Szkolnej Okręgowej za rok 1892

Galician education was supervised by the National School Board which was formed in 1867. The Board was a principal body in relation to the simultaneously formed Regional School Boards and Local School Boards. Thanks to such a structure, the development of education and its supervision significantly improved. It was the same situation in terms of access to education, which became much easier, even for people from the lowest levels of society. The fight with illiteracy in the provinces became a standard motto for successive chairmen of the Boards. Despite this, the construction of new schools and financing of existing ones were insufficient, and the counties which were generally responsible for their maintenance were too poor to meet these obligations. Similar problems were encountered by most of the counties in Galicia, including Zywiec county, which waited until 1904 for its first high school. The vast majority of schools consisted of just 1 class. The level of financing and material condition of schools in Zywiec county were definitely insufficient, and the majority of buildings were wooden, especially in smaller towns and villages, and there were only a few that could boast schools with a high level of organization and brick buildings, which is reflected in the report about the condition of schools in the county for the year 1892.

Akta Komisji Porządkowych Cywilno-Wojskowych (1790–1794)

Krakow Archives Annual, XIX, 2013, pp. 129-157

Created by a law of the Great Sejm in 1789, the civil-military order commissions were the first modern regional administrative institutions, active in the Crown of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Within the borders of the then Krakow Voivodeship, reduced to the northern boroughs after the first partition, there were two civil-military commissions. One was for the Krakow and Proszowice counties and was based in Krakow. The second was for the Lelow and Ksiąski counties and was located in Szczekociny. Documentation remaining from them and stored in the collection of the National Archives in Krakow represents the only almost complete group of records for this type of institution in the whole country. Individual units and records, created as a result of the activity of all crown and Lithuanian civil-military commissions, can also be found in archives and libraries in Poland and abroad. Documentation from the Krakow Civil-Military Commission was combined in one fund, the Records of the Civil-Military Order Commission for the Krakow Voivodeship from 1790–1794, which consists of 52 archival units. These include source materials concerning various aspects of daily life and state matters in the years 1790–1794, among others, documentation connected with economic, social and military issues. The whole fund represents an excellent basis for research into: the history of towns, villages and the economy of the Krakow Voivodeship, heraldry, sigillography, historical demographics and genealogy.
