Studium historyczne na Wydziale Humanistycznym Uniwersytetu Stefana Batorego w Wilnie (1919–1939)
The Historical Study at the Faculty of Humanities of Stefan Batory University in Vilnius (1919–1939)

Summary/Abstract: The operations at the University in Vilnius, reactivated in 1919, were stabilized only after the Polish-Bolshevik War and the incorporation of the Vilnius Region into the Commonwealth in 1922. Over the majority of functioning, the SBU’s authorities encountered issues with maintaining the full staffi ng. The positions adequately fi lled were limited to those within the Department of Polish History, the Department of Modern History, the Department of Medieval History and Auxiliary Sciences of History, and the Department of Eastern-European History. Stanisław Kościałkowski, Felix Koneczny, Kazimierz Chodynicki, Ryszard Mienicki, Janusz Iwaszkiewicz, Teofi l Emil Modelski, Stanisław Zajączkowski, and Henryk Łowmiański are among the notable representatives of Vilnius’ Clio that need to be mentioned. Despite continuous development, the University had a regional character. Both the academic studies and programs off ered by the historical departments were focused on the history of Eastern Europe, notably on Polish-Moscow relations and the history of Lithuania, specifi cally the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Vilnius. The academia remained overshadowed by national universities. However, it was perceived as a vital institution by the Kingdom of Poland and the citizens of Vilnius, having a signifi cant impact on the shape of Polish identity and culture.
