Summary/Abstract: Every individual’s way of memorization is conditioned by multiple factors related to, among others, culture or profession. The text is an attempt to analyse Jan Czekanowski’s diaries from Deutsche Zentral-Afrika-Expedition with a focus on the way an experience functions in the field researcher’s memory and how the journal becomes a particular form of cultural memory.
