Źródła do dziejów magnackiego rodu. O egodokumentach trzech pokoleń Hylzenów
Archival sources to the history of the magnate family. About the egodocuments of three generations of Hylzen family

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present Hylzen manuscripts scattered throughout the archives and libraries of Central and Eastern Europe. The sources stored in Lithuanian, Latvian, Ukrainian and Polish institutions include diaries, correspondence, wills, silva rerum books, as well as genealogies belonging to members of the family living in the 18th century: Jerzy Konstanty (1673–1737), Jan August (1702–1767), Jerzy Mikołaj (1692– –1775), Konstancja (d. 1795), Józef Jerzy (1736–1786), Anna Rozalia (d. 1791) and Idzi (1772–1800). The egodocumentary nature of documents is of fundamental importance in the process of creating internal history of Hylzens, because it allows to reconstruct the main directions of the political, economic and cultural activity of the family. Thanks to the autobiographical nature of self-evidences, the materials also allow to reproduce the biographies of individual representatives of the family.
