Ciekawość jako źródło radości. O pamiętnikarskiej przygodzie Tadeusza Białeckiego
Curiosity as a source of joy: On Tadeusz Białecki’s incursion into the field of memoirs

Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the 1950s Tadeusz Bia􀃡ecki has shown an interest in memoirs concerning the post-war Western Pomerania. Still as a worker of the Regional and Municipal Library in Szczecin he initiated a cycle of reminiscences of librarians; yet, he really took to memoir literature in the mid-1960s when he gathered and sorted out an extensive output of numerous memoirs competitions and cycles. A special place in Professor’s Biał􀃡ecki’s social and research activities is occupied by the competition called the ‘History of Szczecin Families in the 20th Century’, with which he has been connected since the beginning, i.e. since 1969. The reminiscences collected for years, which in many cases appeared in print, are a unique source to get to know the history of Western Pomerania better. In the past few years Tadeusz Bia􀃡ecki himself has been publishing his own memoirs, which depict the life and career of one of the most famous and distinguished Szczecin historians in a detailed and colourful way.
