The years 2013–2017 in the National Archives in Krakow saw the first research project concerning the location document of the city of Krakow issued in 1257 by Prince Bolesław the Chaste. The appointed team of experts led by Dr. Elżbieta Jabłońska, professor at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, conducted research in two areas: conservation and historical. The research was conducted in various research centres in Poland and Great Britain. The aim of the conservation research (collected in four reports) was to identify the document preparation technique, assess the current state, analyse the microbiological purity, establish a position on the conservation needs of the document and determine the conditions for its long-term storage. The historical research, based on the genetic identification of parchments (covered in two reports), concerned the establishment of an integral connection between the parchment of the document and a fragment of degraded parchment preserved with the loose seal of Bolesław the Chaste. The research conducted in the project provided answers to the questions asked by the project team. A technological description of the document and an assessment of its current state were prepared. Genetic tests did not confirm an integral connection between the fragment of parchment with the prince’s seal and the document. The team outlined directions for further in-depth technological research and assessment of the current state of the document based on modern research equipment and digital imaging.

One of the many ways of visualizing the reconstructed architectural form of non-existent buildings is to build their models. In the Podgórze Museum, which is a branch of the Krakow Museum, models of non-existent objects have been successively built since 2023, with their architectural shape recreated largely thanks to documents stored in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. Although this is not the only source used in this work, it is an extremely important one.

Contemporary architectural research studies of historic buildings have a strictly practical dimension. They are related to the implementation of documentation defining the specificity of the facilities for which the permission of conservation officials is necessary for adaptation processes. The article presents the use of archival sources from the National Archives in Krakow, based on architectural research regarding the relics of the former municipal brickworks in Dajwor. These were exposed in the southern section of the railway embankment on Halicka Street in 2021 and 2022 during archaeological works carried out in connection with the reconstruction of the railway line. Archaeological research was conducted by Anna Mazur and Krzysztof Mazur „AVCISSA Prace Archeologiczne” (Anna Mazur and Krzysztof Mazur AVCISSA Archaeological Works). The architectural research was carried out by Pracownia Badań Zabytków Architektury Marek Łukacz (Marek Łukacz Historic Architecture Research Workshop). Information from archival materials allowed us to specify the time period in which the production of building ceramics was launched in Dajwór and to identify the examined brick structure with a double kiln for firing ceramics. The combination of archival and architectural research enabled the full documentation and interpretation of the exposed fragment of the building.

Rapid technological development has changed the information needs of readers and the approach of citizens to research results in the humanities. Therefore, a change in the approach to source edition seems necessary. Just editing or presenting it in a graphical form is not enough, there should be tools that enable broad contextual searches of content and create summaries and reports for specific questions. Artificial intelligence will probably also develop in this direction, but at this point in time it is not able to cope without humans who introduce sources located in archives, museums or libraries to the Internet. This article presents the author’s considerations on the direction of upcoming changes and proposals for creating a source base of inscriptions from epigraphic artefacts (also missing ones, i.e., ones preserved in archival sources).

The article explores new research possibilities through the application of DNA analysis. Several examples of this new technology being used in archival (historical) and genealogical studies are described, highlighting the potential of DNA as data storage. The provided examples demonstrate that genetic analysis has the capability of either confirming or debunking previous assumptions.

Nowadays, regional research, just like in the last century, enjoys genuine respect among Polish and foreign historians, ethnographers and art historians. This has resulted in numerous monographic publications, both single- and multi-authored. Nevertheless, modern regional studies or new regional history should go beyond accepted patterns. Hence, today’s history specialists are expected to use the results of their archival research to strengthen two areas important for local and regional communities. Firstly, to shape the identity of the inhabitants of cities and villages, and, secondly, to influence the economy in accordance with the higher education reform implemented in Poland a few years ago, where emphasis was placed on the so-called cooperation of universities with the socio-economic environment. This article is an attempt to show the latest ways of using historical knowledge to create, among others, original and unique tourist products, based on the example of selected towns and villages in Lesser Poland.

The article analyses the opportunities connected with using archival materials in cultural tourism together with modern technologies, especially mobile apps. The authors describe the process of creating the In the footsteps of the Old Vistula interactive walking route in Krakow, which is available in the Loxper mobile app. The route, based on archival materials, such as maps, photos and documents, presents historical places related to the Old Vistula River, including objects that no longer exist. The text highlights the potential of using archival materials together with modern technological solutions, such as mobile apps based on geolocation, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This use of archival materials allows users to visualize non-existent objects and depict the past in an attractive and engaging way, thereby enriching the tourist experience. The authors emphasise the important role of the resources of state archives in the development of cultural tourism, as well as the potential for cooperation between archivists and software engineers in order to create innovative educational tools.

The article discusses the challenges and potential related to the commercialization of archival research. The growing activity of new professions in an environment previously associated almost exclusively with historians and archivists (possibly with representatives of other humanities) is highlighted. This applies primarily to data brokers. Examples of the tasks they perform and new trends related to broad changes taking place in social and economic fields are briefly discussed. A key role here is played by the synergy between the developing economy and modern technologies and traditional institutions, such as archives, libraries, museums and universities. In response to these challenges, these institutions are increasingly joining forces and sharing experiences.

The article provides a cross-sectional description of the subject of maps in archives, with the phenomenon shown from several perspectives. In the first part, the author examines the presence of cartographic content in archival discourse based on analysis of ten volumes of the “Krakowski Rocznik Archiwalny” (Krakow Archival Annual), and describes the availability of maps in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. In the next section, he discusses examples of cartographic collections, selected maps, descriptions and the challenges they pose in terms of content analysis. In the Mapy archiwów (Archive maps) section, he presents the possible ways of using interactive maps in sharing and searching archives using geographical indexes. In the following section, Archiwa na mapach (Archives on maps), he discusses the availability of information regarding the locations of archives and their territorial properties. The article also contains a description of four examples of modern geoportals and interactive maps that present old maps from archival resources. In the summary, the author indicates the challenges and potential directions of developing the availability of maps from archives.

The author of historical novels set in Krakow in the 16th century uses numerous works showing the life of the inhabitants and the functioning of the city authorities at that time. Writing about Krakow of the Young Poland period at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, despite the popularity of this era, the author is forced to check in the archives the realities regarding the work of the Austrian police, with authenticity an asset of the novel.

The article is the first analysis of the “Wnętrze” (Interior) album, containing residential interior furnishing designs by Zbigniew Otfinowski, graduate of the School of Decorative Arts and Artistic Industry in Krakow. The album, stored in the National Archives in Krakow, was probably created in the mid-1930s. The furniture designs were intended for the homes of middle-class clients. They were part of the Art Deco style, which at that time was characterized by a departure from decoration and the use of geometric forms, as well as impressive veneers. The text also shows that designs from almost a hundred years ago can still be implemented or provide inspiration. In the early 2020s, the Art Deco style has regained some popularity in residential furniture, accessories and interior design. Designers propose arrangements that are intended to reflect the atmosphere of those times, furniture companies produce furniture styled after such equipment or create their replicas, trade in authentic period furniture is also flourishing, and there are suggestions on how to arrange original Art Deco equipment in contemporary interiors. In this context, the “Wnętrze” album can provide inspiration for people who would like to arrange their apartment in the Art Deco style and are looking for furniture designs that specialist companies can use to make the equipment. Today, it may also be a template used by companies producing replicas of Art Deco furniture.

An important feature of Krakow’s landscape are its historic green areas. Everyone knows the Planty or Jordan Park, but there are also other gardens, parks, green areas, squares and streets, with all of them contributing to the system of urban green areas. The aim of the article is to show the usefulness of archival research undertaken in architectural and landscape design for historic green areas. The work uses archival research, literature studies, field work and factual analysis, historical-interpretive methods and comparative studies. The course of conservation proceedings in the reconstruction of historic green areas is presented, with the study of archives being an important element of the designer’s work. Various scales of planning and design as well as forms of greenery are presented, mainly from Krakow and the surrounding area. They serve as an example to show archival sources (including maps, designs, photographs, and written sources) being used directly or indirectly in reconstruction or revalorization projects of garden art objects. Selected issues related to cartography, especially the Galician cadastral map, are discussed using examples. Pleasure gardens, parks and gardens inside urban blocks – in dense urban development, plants and architectural details, and regulatory plans are shown, and greenery issues are discussed in the context of panoramas and views. Finally, the importance of collecting various types of source materials for the reconstruction of composed greenery constituting an integral part of the cultural landscape is emphasised.
