Przeszłość Demograficzna Polski
Poland's Demographic Past

"Poland’s Demographic Past" (PDP) is a journal that brings up questions concerning historical populations, including groups chosen according to some criteria, e.g. to the social or professional ones. In the approach called ‘micro’ the kind of research which is preferred is based on individual statistical material, massive in its character, with a special emphasis on the source criticism. The journal is open to articles that combine the discipline of historical demography and other academic (sub)disciplines, e.g. formal demography, paleodemography, social and economic history, the history of medicine, historical geography and population geography, social anthropology, statistics and computer science, as long as such articles analyse demographic processes that took place in the past in a more effective and multi-faceted way. Although the geographical scope of PDP is rather limited to the territory of the former and present states of Poland, irrespective of their current or previous political status, the journal is not closed to analyses concerning other territories, especially in the cases when they provide a comparative material or methodological tools that might be applied in analyses concerning the Polish territories.
