Sources for the 19th-century history of the parish in Rybna near Cracow

Summary/Abstract: Local history, including histories of parishes as centres of religious but also social and cultural life, have long been the focus of interest of both historians, history lovers and local patriots. This is also the case of the parish in Rybna, which has recently become the theme of a monograph – of popular-science nature, though based on extensive archive research. Even though it does not exhaust the theme of the history of that village and parish near Cracow, it is a perfect point of reference for this paper. The 19th century was very significant for the history of the Rybna parish: among others, a new church was built there in the first quarter of that century. That is why the sources from that period are pretty significant, if not fundamental in many aspects. The documents developed at that time are now kept in several institutions, of which the most important are the Archive of the Metropolitan Curia in Cracow and the National Archive in Cracow. This paper discusses the materials kept there.
