Początek działalności Referatu Archiwum Urzędu Miasta Krakowa wiąże się z reformą samorządu terytorialnego przeprowadzoną w Polsce w 1990 r. Spowodowała ona gruntowną reorganizację działalności urzędów w Polsce, w tym także Urzędu Miasta Krakowa. Początkowo archiwum miało siedzibę w podziemiach budynku magistratu przy placu Wszystkich Świętych 3–4, a od 1999 r. w budynku przy ulicy Dobrego Pasterza 116a. W chwili obecnej Referat Archiwum prowadzi działalność w nowym, na wskroś nowoczesnym obiekcie, do którego pracownicy oraz zasób archiwalny zostali przeniesieni w czerwcu 2019 r. Według stanu na koniec 2019 r. w archiwum zgromadzonych było blisko 20 000 mb akt. Głównym trzonem zasobu archiwum są akta przekazywane z 40 komórek organizacyjnych Urzędu. Do najcenniejszych zbiorów należą: zbiór gromadzkich książek meldunkowych z terenu miasta Krakowa składający się z 25 770 ksiąg, obejmujący okres od 1930 do 1961 r., zbiór Ksiąg Rejestrów Mieszkańców Gmin, zawierających informacje o mieszkańcach gmin z terenu powiatu krakowskiego obejmujących okres od lat 30. do 50. XX w., zbiór tzw. Rejestrów stałych mieszkańców, zbiór Kart Osobowych Mieszkańca, które były prowadzone dla każdego mieszkańca miasta i gromadzone wg adresów zamieszkania. Niezwykle ciekawym zbiorem, nadal otwartym, jest zbiór tzw. kopert dowodowych, tj. dokumentacji związanej z wydawaniem dowodów osobistych W kopertach dowodowych często zachowały się przedwojenne dowody osobiste lub dowody tożsamości, paszporty lub kenkarty. Office of the Krakow Town Council Archive. History, organization and archival resources The beginnings of the Office of the Krakow Town Council Archive are connected with the local-government reform that took place in Poland in 1990. This led to a major reorganisation in the activities of councils in Poland, including the Krakow Town Council. Initially, the Archive was located in the basement of the Town Hall building at 3–4 Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints) Square, and from 1999 in the building at 116a Dobrego Pasterza Street. Currently, the Office of the Archive operates in a new modern building which the employees and archival resources were moved to in June 2019. At the end of 2019, the Archive had a collection of almost 20,000 metres of records. The main body of the Archive’s resources consists of records deposited by 40 organisational units of the Council. The most important collections include: the collection of registration books from the town of Krakow, consisting of 25,770 books covering the period from 1930 to 1961, the collection of Registers of Borough Residents, containing information about the inhabitants of the boroughs in Krakow County covering the period from the 1930s to the 1950s, the collection of the so-called Registers of Permanent Residents, and the collection of Resident Cards, which were kept for each resident of the town and collected according to the residence address. A particularly interesting collection, which is still open, is the collection of the so-called evidence envelopes, in other words, documents connected with the issuance of ID cards. The evidence envelopes often contain pre-war ID cards, passports or kennkarten.

Improvement Commissions were established in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, by individual Acts of Parliament, to address particular local concerns. The most popular form of Improvement Commission, the Pavement Commissions, were established in over 300 towns and cities. The Winchester Pavement Commissioners were established in 1771. Their role was to address the poor state of the streets of Winchester, in respect of paving, lighting, cleansing and safety. The 1770 Winchester Pavement Commission Act specifies the qualifications of potential Commissioners, the activities that the Commissioners could undertake and the means of finance for these activities. The Act was repealed in 1866, following the introduction of the 1858 Local Government Act and the responsibilities of the Pavement Commissioners were largely taken on by the town council. There were 112 Commissioners named in the Winchester Pavement Commissioners Act. The Commissioners financed their activities by a rate on buildings and an additional turnpike toll. They could borrow money secured against these income streams.The Winchester Commissioners agreed contracts for the paving of streets and installation of oil street lamps and, later on, gas street lamps. They employed the scavenger, the constable and the night watchmen. They regulated nuisances and obstructions in the streets and also regulated hackney chairs. They discussed the possibility of introducing sewage facilities for over twenty years without coming to a conclusion.

The article presents the reconstruction of the original composition of the Chancellery of the Governing Senate (autumn 1711). The main source of the study was the previously unpublished “List of the Chancellery of the Governing Senate to the Clerks...”, created no later than November 27, 1711. As a working document, the “List” contains not only a nominal list of clerks-candidates for various positions in the office, but their former places of service, the size of the former salary, professional characteristics, representations of the authors of the document on the internal organization of the Chancellery and the definition of the places of service of the subdeacons. The analysis of information extracted from this source and “convoy” documents of the Senate Chancellery clarifies a number of debatable issues related to the definition of the structure of the office and its staff, sources of staffing, assessment of the clerks’ qualifications and managerial specialization; it reveals the logic of the distribution of employees by the Chancellery structural divisions. It is shown that the Chancellery’s institutions-“donors” were not only the old central administrative bodies — prikazy, but also the new ones created in the course of reforms, including those of local government (the office of the St. Petersburg province and the Town Hall (Ratusha)). Based on the study of the structure and staff, it is concluded that the Senate of the first years of its existence was focused more on control over local administrations, playing the role of not just the highest, but the central level of government, which was at that time in the stage of deep transformation.

Розглядається організаційно-культурна діяльність одного з помітних у регіональному просторі Західного Полісся фотомитця – Олександра Купчинського, а саме виставковий її вектор, втілений в презентації артефактів світового фотомистецтва; видавничий, розглянутий у  контексті  друку  різноманітних  фотоальбомів  із  творів експонентів, організація творчих зустрічей художньої інтелігенції міста з питань обговорення актуальних питань культурного розвитку, заснування фотоклубу тощо. Доводиться, що втрата зв’язку з Батьківщиною, у якій би формі це не відбувалося, не дозволяє митцю творчо самореалізуватися повною мірою. The importance and problematic range of local government reform in the regions of the country and ways of its solution in the field of culture are analyzed. The most effective steps are proposed for management structures at different levels to change attitudes of both the management and the local population regarding different cultural practices. Emphasis is placed on the role of sectoral methodological services in the implementation of this reform. The experience of other countries in activating the local population in this process is emphasized. An attempt has been made to offer effective, in the authors' opinion, solutions to the reform. Emphasis is placed on the educational factor.

Cultural Interactions

This paper uses students’ responses from the dialogues of a town hall meeting to examine the beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge about racial and cultural diversity at a mid-size, predominantly white university in Louisiana. The four major themes that emerged from this experience were: (1) perceptions about race, (2) stereotypical beliefs about cross-cultural interactions, (3) uncomfortable campus climate, and (4) disequilibria associated with prejudicial teaching by parents. Implications and recommendations for increasing positive cross-cultural interactions among members of the campus community are discussed.
