Summary/Abstract: In the years 2013–2018 a scientific project “Artisinal Handicraft in the Churches of Kraków Archdiocese,” financed by the National Humanities Development Programme (No. 11 H 120 11 681), was realized at the Institute of History of Art and Culture of The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow. In its course, over 11,100 works of art in more than 160 churches were catalogued and digitalized, and over 40,000 photos were taken. The documentation was rendered available in an academic database (ram.upjp2.edu.pl).
