Book-related institutions on the pages of “Dziennik Polski” in the years 1945–1969 Part One: Libraries and archives

Summary/Abstract: Since its beginning, Kraków’s daily “Dziennik Polski”, published since February 4, 1945, has paid considerable attention to books and book-related institutions such as bookshops and libraries. In the years 1945–1969 there appeared 256 comments with regard to publishing houses, 247 were texts discussing bookshops and antiquarian bookshops whereas 890 publications were dealing with libraries and archives. Altogether, in the years 1945–1969 book-related institutions were written about 1393 times. The first texts devoted to libraries were concerned with damages in library collections and attempts at rescuing, regaining and finding collections. In the following texts the needs of Polish librarianship were discussed, especially the need to create relevant legislative acts and to develop library networks. “Dziennik Polski” presented individual libraries such as the National Library, the Jagiellonian Library, the Ossolineum Library and many others. In later years the newspaper’s journalists informed the readers about sessions, conventions and conferences devoted to the problems of Polish librarianship as well as about librarianship courses that were being organized. After 1956 the comments on library matters were dominated by the ones concerning Kraków and its vicinity.
