Schematyzmy Kościołów katolickich obrządków wschodnich przechowywane w Archiwum Archidiecezjalnym w Gnieźnie
Schematisms of the Catholic Churches of the Eastern rites stored in the Archdiocesan Archive in Gniezno

Summary/Abstract: Among the schematisms stored in the Archdiocesan Archive in Gniezno (these are prints prepared for the Archdiocese of Gniezno, other Polish and foreign Roman Catholic dioceses, and religious orders) are three elenchus reports produced for the Catholic Churches of the Eastern rites, existing in the former Eastern Borderlands. Two of them relate to the organization of the Greek Catholic Church: Archdiocese of Lviv (1858) and the Diocese of Stanisławów (1938), while the third one presents the structure and operation of the Armenian Archdiocese of Lviv before the outbreak of World War II (1939). All of those prints, in their structure and content, resemble schematisms prepared for the Roman Catholic Church. They are thus valuable sources from which we can learn about history, political system, organization, and people working in different institutions and parishes of the Greek Catholic Church and the Armenian Church in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
