Summary/Abstract: The visitors’ book of the Polish‑French coal company “Skarboferm” was started in 1923. It is currently located in Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze. The majority of the sheets are decoratively finished and contain autographs of the eminent personages of the various fields of the social life and countries being a part of the delegations visiting “Skarboferm” between 1923 and 1938. The enumeration and the description of the course of the visits induce to draw a conclusion that the majority of those visits were motivated mainly by the needs of the spiritual rapprochement to the Upper Silesian community and the recognition of the Polish creativity in the field of the Upper Silesian industry.
