The article presents the results of French archival research concerning scholarly and scientific archives. The article points out that the subject-matter is of interest to historians of science and learning as well as archivists employed in research institutions. It is tressed that the concept of ’’scholarly/scientific archives” refers to three kinds of archives: the archives of institutions responsible for research administration, of those conducting research, as well as the archives of scholars and scientists themselves. The arcticle presents material on the archives of the Academie des Sciences as well as other research institutions, such as the Museum d’histoirenaturelle, the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, the EcolePolytechnique, the Institut Pasteur and the Observatoireastronomique. Special attention is devoted to the establishment, gathering and arrangement of the archival materials of those institutions. The next part of the article deals with the issue of the archives of Polish scholars to be found in French archival literature. It identifies the places where such materials are stored and discusses the archival materials relating to Polish researchers and scholars that are stored at the library of the Institut de France, the Bibliothequenationale, the central library of the Museum d’histoirenaturelle as well as other research institutions. The next part of the article is devoted to problems of evaluating materials created in the course of currently conducted research. It is pointed out that archival material produced by the activities of research institutions consist of (i) administrative documents and (ii) documents concerned with course of research work itself. It is stressed in the article that unpublished research materials and working materials are documents of a very controversial kind, and do not lend themselves easily to precise and rational criteria of assessment. The article also points out that it is difficult to work out a general framework of criteria for the assessment of scholarly and scientific documents. In conclusion in is stressed that the work on scholarly and scientific archives that has been produced in a joint effort by French history of science and learning and by French archival science, testifies to the wealth and diversity of French research activity, both as regards the work of individual scholars and scientists, as well as French research institutions. This work serves to underline the role and achievements of science and learning in the creation of cultural heritage.

The aim is to provide information that would go beyond general data on the particular batches of archival materials. It contains information on various levels of archival grouping, covering not only fonds but also units of archival materials, groups of documents or single documents. For astronomy, the materials that have received most attention in the paper are those relating to Władysław Dziewulski (1878-1968), Professorat the Stefan Batory University in Wilno (Vilnius) and the Nicholaus Copernicus University in Toruń, the initiator and head of the astronomic observatories at those two universities. In the field of physics, material relating to the following scientists has been analyzed: Klemens Eugeniusz Dziewulski (1842- 1889), laboratory worker at the chair of experimental physics of the Polish-language University in Warsaw (Szkoła Główna) and then the Russian-language Imperial Warsaw University; Stanisław Kalinowski (1873-1946), Professor of the Warsaw Polytechnic (known under the English name of Warsaw Technical University), and Wolna Wszechnica Polska (an open university), the founder and head of the Geophysical Observatory at Świder and of the Physical Institute of the Museum of Industry and Agriculture, who was also a deputy and senator of the Polish parliament; Ludwik Wertenstein (1882-1945), Professor of Radiology at the Wolna Wszechnica Polska; Mieczysław Woflke (1883- 1947), Dozent at the Zurich University and Professor at the Warsaw Polytechnic.
