Początki egzemplarza obowiązkowego druków w realiach pierwszych miesięcy funkcjonowania Polskiego Komitetu Wyzwolenia Narodowego w 1944 roku
The beginnings of legal deposit of printed materials during the first months of functioning of the Polish Comittee of National Liberation in 1944

Summary/Abstract: Following the 1944 installation of the communist authorities in the Lubelskie region, the Ministry of Education for the Polish Comittee of National Liberation undertook the problem of restoring the practice of legal deposit, in the areas liberated from German occupation. Kazimierz Zieleniewski, a candidate for the directorship of the Lopacinski Library in Lublin, most likely influenced the interest of the communist authorities in this particular issue. Although he was unsuccessful in obtaining this post, he did become the director of the National Council Library, which became the basis for the later Parliamentarian Library. He attempted to impress upon the Regional Council in Lublin the necessity of obtaining legal deposits in post-war Poland. This aforementioned body in fact passed on Zieleniewski’s correspondence to the Ministry of Education for the Polish Committee for National Liberation, and it was specifically PCNL which finally mandated that press agencies begin to transfer printed copies, and that the Lopacinski library should begin to collect advance copies, with the intent that these collections be eventually transferred to regional libraries in territories already liberated, and in the territories that in 1944 were planned additions to post-war Poland.
