Summary/Abstract: In the paper are used archival documents from personal and institutional funds held in the State Archives–Smolyan, for the period 1881-1962. In the institutional funds are found orders, circulars, letters of recommendation related to the political, economic, cultural and other activities at the administrative level – in the Rhodope districts of Smolyan and Devin. They define the attitude towards Polish citizens on the eve of World War II, after the severance of diplomatic relations with Poland and in connection with the transfer of the remains of the world famous writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. For the economic relations between the two countries in the 1920s and 1930s we learn from the two funds of the Tobacco cooperatives in Raikovo (today a district of Smolyan) and the town of Zlatograd. In the personal funds of Christo Popkonstantinov from the village of Petkovo, Petar Pamporov from Smolyan, Stoyan Popgeorgiev Shokov – Exarch Stefan from the village of Shiroka Laka and Spas Kazandzhiev from Ustovo (today district of Smolyan) are found diverse and interesting documents related to Poland and its culture, politics and economics.
