Geologists from Warsaw have been active in works of the Polish Geological Society since the very beginning of its existence (the first PGS status was adopted in 1921). Although the Warsaw Branch (WB) of PGS was established only in 1923, organization of the first PGS annual scientific meetings in Kielce in 1921 was entrusted to the Warsaw geologist Jan Czarnocki. Jan Lewiński was elected the first chairman of the Warsaw Branch of PGS in 1923. In the same year, he organized the third PGS annual scientific meeting. However, it was not until the General Assembly in 1930 that the autonomy of the PGS branches was decided. In the pre-war period, members of the WB PGS organized the sixth PGS annual scientific meeting (ASM) in Katowice and the 12th PGS ASM in Sandomierz in 1925. The ASM in Kielce, scheduled for September 1, 1939, did not take place. After the war, in March 1946, the Warsaw Branch of PGS was reactivated and a year later it organized the 20th PGS ASM in the western part of the Holy Cross Mts. In 1952, the jubilee 25th PGS ASM was organized in Warsaw. Two subsequent conventions concerned the geology of north-eastern Poland: the 45th ASM in 1973 and the 64th ASM in 1993. In 2012, the Warsaw Branch organized the second Polish Geological Congress in Warsaw. The 83 ,rd PGSASM was held in the Lublin region in2014, the 84th PGSASM in the Holy Cross Mts in 2015, and the 86th PGS ASM in Łuków in 2018.
The journal Rocznik Polskiego Towarzystwa Geologicznego was launched in 1922 by the Polish Geological Society established soon after Poland's regaining of independence in 1918. The successive volumes appeared annually. After the break caused by World War 2 the journal was promptly reactivated by those members of the Society who survived the war. The journal gradually turned to publishing in English only, and changed its title to Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae. Many published papers gained the journal wide international audience. Now, Annales... with its international editorial board, robust record of citations, regular appearance, good physical quality and unlimited online availability of all published papers is a valuable source of interesting papers for readers and a promising publication venue for the authors of original contributions to geological science.
Polish geologist, Dr. Stanisław Krajewski (1890-1968), studied geology and geography at the Jan Kazimierz University of Lwów (Lviv) and geology at the University of Lausanne under the guidance of Professor Maurice Lugeon. He participated in World War I as a Polish Legion soldier. After the war, Stanisław Krajewski worked as a petroleum geologist at Borysław (Boryslav), which was the major petroleum mining center in the Polish Carpathians. He also conducted research on the geological structure of the Flysch Carpathians in terms ofprospecting for crude oil and natural gas occurrences. In 1931, Stanisław Krajewski was employed at the Polish Geological Institute (PGI) in Warsaw for editing and publishing jobs, while not abandoning seasonal geological investigations in the Carpathians, which he continued until the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and later during the wartime. In 1945, he returned to work as a publishing editor at the PGI, and participated in the post-war reorganization of the Polish geology. In the period of 1951-1961, Stanisław Krajewski was a lecturer at the Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw. In 1953, he became the Editorin-Chief of the newly formed Wydawnictwa Geologiczne, in which he worked until his death, dealing with the history and popularization ofgeological sciences.
