The authors present the history of preparation of the complex regional atlas elaborated by the Lower Silesia Atlas Lboratory at the Wrocław University, and put out in 1998. The atlas was jointly initiated by the Wrocław University and the Wrocław Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The contract signed in 1985 between these two institutions established a special laboratory named Lower Silesia Atlas Laboratory, whose aim was to prepare the atlas. Władyslaw Pawlak was appointed Head of the Lab and the Editor-in-Chief of the Atlas. the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the Polish sovereignty over the Western and Northern Territories (incorporated in 1945) was the opportune time to prepare such a regional atlas. The atlas, as an anniversary publication, was projected to sum up the results of Polish research on the territory of the Lower and Opole Silesia. The incorporation of this territory into Poland in 1945, as well as the displacement of German settlers, in place of whom Polish inhabitants displaced from the eastem parts of the prewar Poland were settled down, created a totally new demographic and economic situation. The year 1945 turned out to be the only year in the whole history of Silesia, during which the modern Europe's largest operation of displacement of Polish and German inhabitants took place. The result of this process was that millions of new inhabitants of Silesia inhibited the area, Whose history and tradition was familiar only to the intellectual elite. Therefore, the problems of Silesia became one of the parts of the atlas. The atlas was initially planned to cover the Lower Silesia only, however it was later decided that it would also include Opole Silesia. That way the atlas covered the territory of five voivodeships: Jelenia Góra, Legnica, Opole, Wałbrzych and Wrocław. The concept of the atlas was prepared in the Lower Silesia Atlas Laboratory, and this is also where the entire atlas was prepared. The Editor-j -Chief was allowed to freely prepare both the atlas contents and structure, which resulted in certain modifications made to the initially projected character of the Atlas. The originally projected anniversary character of the atlas evolved toward a more educational publication. The authors decided to add a wholly new section devoted to the political and economic history of Silesia, including the processes of displacement of its inhabitants after the World War II and the economic and social integration of Silesia with the rest of the country. Atlas is based in whole on the results of Polish research after the World War II. The issues of natural wnvironment and its degradation were especially stressed in the atlas. Almost all maps included in the atlas are original ones based on official statistical data and on the results of research conducted in many academic institutions in Wrocław, other academic centers in Poland and also in nimerous research institutes. The Atlas was financed by the local authorities of this region, city authorities of Wrocław, the Wrocław Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences and also by the University of Wrocław. All map titles, editorial notes and map descriptions and legends have been translated into English and German. The Atlas of Lower and Opole Silesia is currently the newest and largest regional atlas in Poland. Almost 100 map authors and collaborators contributed to the atlas, whose elaboration took almost 12 years. The atlas was prepared by means of both the traditional and computer technology.
