Fortuna-Marek, A. Kozioł, M. Lubaś, P. Nowak, B. Skaldowski, K. Stepnik, Cultural Heritage and Research, vol. 1, Poles And Their Legacy. A Social Study Report, National Heritage Board and the Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University, Warszawa–Kraków 2017 AB - The publication reviewed in the article is the first in a series of volumes on cultural heritage. Volume 1 presents the results of a social study focused on how cultural legacy is assessed and treated by Polish society. The starting point for the deliberations included in the report is the definition of cultural heritage, followed by an analysis of the particular components of attitudes towards it, being interested or involved in protecting it. The report also includes the economic aspects of heritage. The study and its results take into account archives and archival materials. Approximately 80% of the respondents acknowledged their significance, implying that they play a very significant role among other means of preserving national heritage. However, the questionnaires used in the study do not provide a complete picture of the certain specific characteristics of archives and archival materials. This is why the archivist community should become directly involved in the future activities of the National Heritage Board and the Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University.  VL - 2018 IS - 119 PY - 2018 SN - 0066-6041 C1 - 2658-1264 SP - 456 EP - 461 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/archeion/article/a-chabiera-a-dabrowski-a-fortuna-marek-a-koziol-m-lubas-p-nowak-b-skaldowski-k-stepnik-dziedzictwo-kulturowe-w-badaniach-t-1-polacy-wobec-dziedzictwa-raport-z-badan-spolecznych-narodowy-instytut-dziedzictwa-i-instytut-socjologii-uniwersytetu-jagiellonskie KW - cultural heritage KW - archival materials KW - national archival fonds KW - cultural legacy KW - works of art KW - traditions and customs KW - social research KW - functioning of cultural heritage KW - significance of cultural heritage KW - social assessment and attitudes towards heritage KW - UNESCO KW - National Heritage Institute KW - Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University
