Summary/Abstract: The Universal National Exhibition was organized in Poznań in 1929 in order to show the achievements of the reborn Poland. The exhibition drew 4.5 million guests and all branches of industry; the activity of the Polish government, as well as arts and culture were presented. Currently a study is being prepared, which is the source edition of documents from the Poznań City Acts. The magistrate of Poznań, as one of the organizers, collected a large number of files regarding the construction, running and closing of the exhibition. The study is also divided according to these categories. The main problem was the selection of documents due to their high quantity. The ones that were considered the most important were chosen because it was impossible to edit all the files available. The second problem was completing of the photo captions. Ultimately it was possible to identify some of the exhibits and select fragments of memoirs and press articles as commentary. The print publication is planned for the spring 2019, in order to honor the 90th anniversary of the Exhibition.
