Summary/Abstract: The paper is a synthetic presentation of the contents of parish websites and Facebook profiles in terms of historical information posted online. For the purposes of the analysis, a representative group of one-third parishes of the Archdiocese of Przemyśl has been selected (125 out of 392). The research lasted from April to early June 2022. The analysis showed that 64% of the parishes had their own websites, another 8% (without a website) had a Facebook profile, and 28% of the examined parishes remained offline. Within the group of parishes with their own websites, 84% included historical information in the form of texts of considerably varied size and quality, prepared for the purposes of the website. Some of the texts had a quality of reliable scientific monographs. In rare cases calendars of events from the parish life or parish chronicles were found. Parish Facebook profiles were hardly ever used for publishing historical content.
