Władysław Szajnocha (1857-1928), Polish geologist and palaeontologist, graduated from the University of Vienna and the Vienna Technische Hochschule. He was a researcher in the geology of the Carpathians, co-author of the Geological Atlas of Galicia, researcher of Jurassic brachiopods of the Balin Oolite and the Eastern Carpathians, and author of books on mineral deposits and mineral springs of Galicia. As a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow he created a significant research centre called the “Cracow geological school”. He was the initiator and co-organizer of the Mining Academy in Cracow in 1919 (currently the AGH University of Science and Technology), and the Polish Geological Society in 1922, being its first President. Jan Nowak (1880-1940), graduated from the University of Lviv, professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracov. Researcher of the geology of the Carpathians and petroleum geology. He was the creator of the original concept of tectogenesis of the Carpathian flysch belt. Jan Nowak conducted geological research in the Polish Lowlands and created the first synthetic monograph on the tectonics of Poland. He worked on the palaeontology of Upper Cretaceous cephalopods, their systematics and phylogeny. He was imprisoned in a German concentration camp and died shortly after being released. Marian Książkiewicz (1906-1981) graduated from the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and professor at this university. Researcher of the Carpathians and Carpathian flysch, creator of the “Polish sedimentological school” and the world's first palaeogeographic reconstructions of flysch basins. He was involved in ichnology and developed a rich collection and a monograph on organic hieroglyphs occurring in the Carpathian flysch sediments, being a work of worldwide significance. He authored a tectonic synthesis of the Polish Carpathians.

The Golden Medal of the Polish Geological Institute (Fig. 1) was officially established in 1994 with the Decision No. 13 of the Director of PGI. It is dedicated to the active and retired employees of PGI, who were employed there over 20 years, expressing distinctive successes in scientific or organization progress of the Institute and realizing the perfect moral standards. The candidates to Golden Medal should be approved by the independent Chapter of Medal consisting of 5-7 persons, elected for each 4 years. Hither to, only 245 workers (Table 1) – from among almost 1500 employees of the Polish Geological Institute – became honored with the Golden Medal of PGI since 1994, which expressed its unusual importance(for the list of persons see Prz. Geol., vol.67, no. 7, p. 618-619).

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.
