Formal Establishment

In 2020, we are celebrating 50 years of the Stanisław Sankowski Museum in Radomsko, officially established on 1 July 1970. However, it was already from 1946 that Stanisław Sankowski, a history teacher, had been collecting documents and exhibits related to the region among the students of the First Secondary School in Radomsko. He appealed for them to be collected in the school newsletter and in 1958 in the ‘Gazeta Radomszczańska’ paper. The appeal was successful, and the collections started to grow. At that point there was no mention of a seat for the Museum, so initially, as approved by the school Headmaster, the Museum was housed in the school building. It seemed that it would find a home there for longer, particularly as the school was given a new building. When it turned out there was no separate room available for the exhibition, the school hall was adapted for the Museum exhibits. This, however, was not to the liking of the school authorities; the Deputy Headmaster, who, interestingly, happened to be a historian himself, forbid the works to be continued. For some time the Museum’s activity was suspended, yet finally S. Sankowski decided to move the collected exhibits to his own flat. Excursions, even from around the country, were invited to visit it. Meanwhile, S. Sankowski continuously tried to be allocated some facility where the Museum could be housed. The efforts were accelerated by the mention of the Radomsko Museum in a private flat in a programme on Radio Free Europe. Soon afterwards, the home for the Museum was found: initially, they were 3 rooms in the building of the town authorities, later the whole ground floor, while in the mid-1970s it was allocated almost the whole building of the former 1859 Town Hall. The Museum had enjoyed first successes even before the formal establishment; these were undoubtedly the finds that brought archaeologists to Radomsko and their subsequent discoveries. What needs to be appreciated, though, i s f i rst a n d fo rem o st t h e ed u cat i o n a l effo r t o f S. Sankowski and his promoting activities. Many years later, in 2008, the Radomsko Regional Museum was named after its instigator and creator.

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.

<p>This dissertation explores the advocacy for the Christchurch Town Hall that occurred in 2012-2015 after the Canterbury Earthquakes. It frames this advocacy as an instance of collective-action community participation in a heritage decision, and explores the types of heritage values it expressed, particularly social values. The analysis contextualises the advocacy in post-quake Christchurch, and considers its relationship with other developments in local politics, heritage advocacy, and urban activism. In doing so, this dissertation considers how collective action operates as a form of public participation, and the practical implications for understanding and recognising social value.  This research draws on studies of practices that underpin social value recognition in formal heritage management. Social value is held by communities outside institutions. Engaging with communities enables institutions to explore the values of specific places, and to realise the potential of activating local connections with heritage places. Such projects can be seen as participatory practices. However, these processes require skills and resources, and may not be appropriate for all places, communities and institutions. However, literature has understudied collective action as a form of community participation in heritage management. All participation processes have nuances of communities, processes, and context, and this dissertation analyses these in one case. The research specifically asked what heritage values (especially social values) were expressed through collective action, what the relationship was with the participation processes, communities, and wider situation that produced them, and the impact on institutional rhetoric and decisions. The research analysed values expressed in representations made to council in support of the Town Hall. It also used documentary sources and interviews with key informants to analyse the advocacy and decision-making processes and their relationships with the wider context and other grassroots activities. The analysis concluded that the values expressed intertwined social and professional values. They were related to the communities and circumstance that produced them, as an advocacy campaign for a civic heritage building from a Western architectural tradition. The advocacy value arguments were one of several factors that impacted the decision. They have had a lasting impact on rhetoric around the Town Hall, as was a heritage-making practice in its own right. This dissertation makes a number of contributions to the discussion of social value and community in heritage. It suggests connections between advocacy and participation perspectives in heritage. It recommends consideration of nuances of communities, context, and place meanings when using heritage advocacy campaigns as evidence of social value. It adds to the literature on heritage advocacy, and offers a focused analysis of one of many heritage debates that occurred in post-quake Christchurch. Ultimately, it encourages practice to actively integrate social and community values and to develop self-reflexive engagement and valuation processes. Despite inherent challenges, participatory processes offer opportunities to diversify understandings of value, co-produce heritage meanings with communities, and empower citizens in democratic processes around the places they live with and love.</p>

Libraries and Private Book Collections in the Town of Mielec at the Time of the Partition of Poland: An Outline Libraries and private book collections in Mielec at the time of the partition of Poland have not been sufficiently traced and researched so far. The best known are the library of the Mielec secondary school (gimnazjum) and the private collection of the Count Oborski family. General remarks, in the scope of a few sentences at best, pertain to other school libraries and private collections. Numerous collections, some that are known by the name, such as the library of the Trinitarian convent, and some that we are not aware of, still await researchers. Currently, all old books (published before 1945) that are kept in the town of Mielec need to be cataloged in order to start the actual efforts to chart the history of the local libraries and private book collections.

It was with some surprise that I learnt I should be settling but a stone's throw away from Baron von Münchhausen's birthplace in today's West Germany. The house at Bodenwerder on the Weser where he was born now serves as the town hall; the Münchhausen family had obviously been influential in the area for when I began to work in the psychiatric hospital at Moringen, I found that the original building had been erected by them in 1738.

The Revolution

The revolution in Saeby   In 1790, the citizens of the tiny town of Saeby in northern Jutland demanded a meeting at the Town Hall to confront the town bailiff about his abuse of power as chief of police, but the bailiff refused to obey any “self-made national assemblies”. In Denmark at the time, such examples of popular local unrest were often compared with the French Revolution. However, in later Danish historiography, these disturbances have been seen as “reactive” defences of traditional rights that do not carry the same historical significance as the bourgeois revolution in France, for example. Inspired by an interactional approach to popular unrest, this article argues that the Saeby citizens’ collective protest did indeed have some revolutionary traits: a micro-historical analysis of the conflict as a process shows that the unrest began as a reaction to enclosure and police reforms, and when the town bailiff was suspected of embezzlement, demands for democracy and more transparency grew. Descriptions of the bailiff’s rule as “despotic” show that the citizens of Saeby were inspired by contemporary ideals of democratic absolutism. Thus, the article concludes that popular local disturbances such as these should be seen as part of the revolutionary movement that was taking place elsewhere at that time.

The 19th century is - as regards urban planning - characterized by the development of infrastructure, such as schools or hospitals. These changes can also be observed in the eastern parts of the monarchy. The regional focus of this thesis lies on Czernowitz, the capital city of the Bukovina since 1849. Three institutions - the town hall, the railway station and the museum - serve as an example to show how the construction of these buildings had an impact on the social life of the residents of Czernowitz. The article shows that identity is the central connective element.

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.
