Summary/Abstract: In the State Archives in Przemyśl there are chronicles from parishes of the Latin rite and from Greek-Catholic parishes. They are documents from the parishes in Tartaków and Wojniłów which belonged to the Lviv Archdiocese, located in fonds no. 2441 “Parish files and register books of the Lviv Archdiocese and Przemyśl diocese of the Roman-Catholic rite”. The chronicles of Greek-Catholic parishes in the fonds of the Przemyśl Archives are represented by: a chronicle of the parish in Dębno (the Leżajsk district), Grab, and a chronicle from the parish in Smolnik near Lutowiska. This paper presents general information on the chronicles, their appearance, the chronicler, the content and the manner of writing. The analysis of the preserved parish chronicles in the fonds of the State Archives in Przemyśl allow to decide that the manner of keeping them depended largely on the involvement and ingenuity of their authors.
