In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries collectibles and collecting spread within Europe, and bibliophilia was quite common. At the end of the eighteenth century, and following the plundering of the Republic by foreign invaders, citizens began to strive for independence and many patriots worked to save the achievements of Polish culture. They created collections that became the treasuries of Polish culture. The collections were aimed at saving valuable items before their dispersal or destruction, including Polish literature e.g. documents, letters, diaries, and any records of scientific achievements. The collections also gave rise to numerous initiatives aimed at educating the Polish nation and fighting against national destruction. Throughout the nineteenth century until the First World War, libraries were created as institutions that were available not only to researchers, but gradually also to representatives of all social classes. It was a process that reflected, as in a mirror, the wider social changes taking place in Polish lands. Initially the founders of scientific libraries with a focus on the humanities came from the aristocracy and gentry, but from the mid-century, their ranks were joined by an increasing number of collectors from other professions, such as lawyers, politics, priests, teachers, and people of culture and art.

The term cultural heritage refers to the body of the heritage of societies produced in the process of historical development, passed from one generation to another. Its scope includes both material and non-material elements. Cuisine constitutes an important component of the second group. It is an indicator of the richness and variety of culinary heritage. Therefore it is no wonder that the state and self‑government authorities along with regional tourism organisations create initiatives whose purpose is to create an inventory of the local culinary resources and their use to promote local production in the food market, also as a value which generates the movement of tourists. Therefore it is worthwhile to observe the extent to which tourism based on the resources of culinary heritage develops. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate the model of using culinary heritage in tourism, prepared on the basis of research in subject literature and the analysis of the use of selected traditional products in Upper Silesia within the framework of the tourism-related offer of the region.

The transitional changes in the Republic of Slovenia led to ownership changes in the companies, which completely changed their legal status. As a result of these changes we altered the status and archives of these subjects, which led to complications of problems related to the same. There is a wide range of these problems and it ranges from: difference between public and private holdings, issues of continued care, issues of liquidated and bankruped enterprises, etc. In order to overcome the existing problems it was necessary to bring a valid regulations, establish proper cooperation between the archives and the holder of these archives. This cooperation involved a whole range of different activities. It is increasingly evident, however, and results in solving the problem of archives of all these subjects are more certain.

The current project aims to develop innovative models and technology-based solutions for contextual use of digital cultural resources for educational application through serious educational games. The author plans to implement fundamental and applied research mainly in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to acquire new knowledge without direct commercial application or use. The project is oriented towards the achievement of scientific results in the field of: technology-enhanced learning/training, serious games, visualization techniques, etc. In order to achieve this goal, the research approaches and methodology in the field of ICT used in the practice of Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences will be used. The expected results are creating new models and tools for contextual use of digital cultural re-sources for educational application through serious educational games.

The goal of this paper is to present the project “Women in the history of academic science in Bulgaria” of the BAS Scientific Archive. In this regard, will be created an encyclopedic reference book and an archival database about the academic career of women. The expected scientific results are as follows: establishment of an information body with free access to the materials and options to extract concepts from them; building a comprehensive interdisciplinary theoretical framework for analysis of information on women in science; the popularization of themed archives will enrich the vision of women history and science history, as well as about the cultural and historical heritage.

Some new concepts such as diagonal configuration of points and its invariants are introduced in the present work. It is shown that the quadrilateral and the octahedron are concretization of a diagonal configuration of points and that the invariants of these configurations are analogues of the concepts of area of a quadrilateral and volume of an octahedron. The idea of invariants of diagonal configurations of points is consistently developed (an integrated approach is used) for 2-dimentional, 3-dimentional, 4-dimentional, n-dimentional (n> 4) space. Compact symbols are introduced in order to facilitate the general conclusions and to simplify the demonstrations, also the „triangle rule“ is deduced and consistently applied.

One planned to present a quantitative description of the Polish literature which is thematically associated with the problems of the computerisation of libraries in Poland; to define the dynamics of its growth across the span of the last fifty years and to identify – and to provide a quantitative description thereof – of the particular problems which were the subject of the publication until the end of 2017. One applied a bibliometrical method, and the source of data for the bibliometrical analyses was constituted by the “Polish Bibliological Bibliography” (PBB). The study enabled one to determine the time when the bibliological and informatological literature saw the emergence of the first publications which are thematically associated with the problems of the automatisation of libraries and how the dynamics of the growth of the literature in this field occurred in the years 1970–2009. As far as the particular problems are concerned, one indicated only the publications devoted to online catalogues, digital libraries and the Internet in library science. The study also facilitated the identification of factors which hindered or even precluded bibliometrical analyses – the latter were necessary for the obtaining of reliable results. The work was enhanced by the elements of the analysis of the “Polish Bibliological Bibliography” in terms of its utility as a source for bibliometrical research in the problems which are discussed.

A consistent bibliography, which registers the bulk of regional writing, contributes to the popularisation of the knowledge about the region. The bibliography which is developed in the mode of a current bibliography enables inter alia the transmission of information about recently published materials and it presents the publishing accomplishments of the regions. A systematic tracing of the tendencies in the publishing of regional literature enables a conscious extension of the collection of books and popularisation thereof. In the libraries the task of registering regional literature falls to bibliographers. Regional bibliographers perform a considerable role in the support and the promotion of knowledge about the region. By engaging in various forms of activity, the members of the Regional Bibliography Team at the Board of Management of the Association of Polish Librarians popularise the knowledge about their region. The purpose of the present article is to describe the initiatives of the Team, which disseminates regional themes by means of its activities. The bibliography of regional books, which is maintained by the Team members in a manner which is as systematic and comprehensive as possible, constitutes a source of information and popularisation of the knowledge about the region of inestimable value.
