The article addresses the issue of photographic materials as sources of information about the past and draws attention to their storage in the Bulgarian archives. During the Renaissance written records were considered key evidence for the Bulgarian past. In this era national emancipation processes developing in Bulgarian society found expression not only in texts, but also in images. Fine art also became a means of preserving historical memory, and later this trait was transferred to photography too. Photography correctly and accurately reflects reality; photos can be reproduced, printed and distributed. Therefore, photographs became valuable bearers of information about the most prominent Bulgarian revolutionaries, participants in Church – national struggle, writers and enlighteners. After the liberation the range of documents that were considered valuable evidence of the past expanded. Interest in photography appeared. Photos can be found not only in personal funds, but also in institutional archives. Photographing valuable archaeological sites to preserve them for the next generations became common practice. The article looks at some of the specifics of preservation of photographic materials in institutions such as the Scientific Archives of BAS, Bulgarian historical archive at the National Library „St. Cyril and Methodius”, and Central State Archives. Searching, collecting and keeping photographic materials in the biggest Bulgarian repositories is a testament to the fact that society perceives them as a valuable means of preserving historical memory. They, along with the works of historical painting, present our past in images. But unlike the artistic images, photographs due to their accuracy have significantly greater documentary value.

Sonia Wajselfisz (1911–1999) in 1943 was deported from the Warsaw ghetto to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp; thanks to the so-called Palestinian certificate obtained through the Hotel Polski, people managed to survive the war. Many people in the hotel at Długa 29 Street bought documents issued by South American countries, were not so lucky; on 21 October 1943, 17 May, and 23 May 1944 they were transported to Auschwitz and died there. After the war, Sonia wrote down the names she could recall; the list, found after many years, is a unique document, so one can identify at least part of more than two hundred people from these transports.

A number of questions about the hiding and extraction of the documents collected by the Oneg Shabbat group have arisen since the discovery of the first part of the Ringelblum Archive at Nowolipki Street 68. Using the documents stored in the Archive of the Jewish Historical Institute (Żydowski Instytut Historyczny, ŻIH), this article answers some of those questions by reconstructing the course of the hiding and the post-war search for the Oneg Shabbat archive, conducted by the Central Committee of Polish Jews (Centralny Komitet Żydów Polskich, CKŻP) and the Central Jewish Historical Commission (Centralna Żydowska Komisja Historyczna). This reconstruction also facilitates formulation of a new hypothesis concerning the ‘third part’ of the Archive, purportedly hidden in April 1943 on the premises of the ‘brushmakers’ workshop’.

Ina Söllner was one of Schulz’s young sitters. As an adult person, she discovered in her autograph book a portrait of her mother, Ina, made by Schulz. The drawing called The King of Frogs [Żabi król] and a dedication referring to her mother sitting provoke the author to analyze her family connections with Schulz. Even though she does not remember her meeting with the artist, she reconstructs Schulz’s place in her biography and the circumstances under which they might have met.

A letter from Stefan Napierski to Kazimierz Wyka, which reveals the background of the notorious "Double Review" of Bruno Schulz. Napierski explicitly articulates his reaction to "The Sanatorium under the Sign of an Hourglass" and, responding to Wyka’s approach to the same text, concludes that “both reviews complement each other perfectly.” Moreover, the letter offers an insight into the financial conditions of the literary critics’ work.

In addition to the verse and prose works composed in Classical Turkish Literature, the annotation studies on them are of equal significance. The occasional obscurity of these works of Ottoman civilization for readers, although it may seem to result from the heavily Arabic and Farsi dialect of classical Turkish poetry, in fact stems from the cultural background, imagination and metaphors, namely the fact that it cannot penetrate totally to the addressed literary circles. Therefore, it is clear that annotation books possess a vital role in reaching the aforementioned audience. This article presents researchers with literary historian, poet, writer, mathnawi-reciter, mystic, professor and a man with many more qualifications, Tahiru’l Mevlevi’s (1877-1951) annotations in old Arabic letters on Nedim’s “Manor Eulogy” converted into the current letters. The translated text is recorded as item 91 in Fethi Sezai Turkmen Collection at Sulaymaniyah Manuscript Library and was written in Tahiru’l Mevlevi’s own handwriting in rika calligraphy. Two pages of the original text in old letters are presented as samples at the end of this article.
