AB - 
	In the period of 1918–1939, archivists played an important role in the process of reconstructing the Polish statehood. They began their work for the rebirth of Poland as early as during the First World War, by preventing the destruction of archival materials and taking them abroad, and preparing the first drafts of normative regulations regarding archives and archival service. After Poland had regained independence, they focused on building a centralized and efficient network of archives. This involved work on legislation and organizational matters, as well as repossession actions. They also actively popularized the subject, thus shaping national awareness and patriotic attitudes. Many archivists from this period significantly contributed to the development of scientific research, both in the field of history and in archival studies.
