Twenty-five years have already passed this year since the opening of the Historical Monuments Documentation Centre (the H.M.D.C.), which was separated in 1962 from the Central Board for Museums and Monuments Protection, attached to the Ministry of Culture and Arts. The author of a work programme and the first director of the Centre was the late Professor Kazimierz Malinowski. The basic task of the Centre is to complete and render accessible monuments' documentation, to systematize and classify it as well as to cooperate with various organizations and co-workers in this field. These tasks о fthe Centre have been pursued for a quarter of the century, though a scope of its activities has already gone beyond the aims assumed. First of all, the number of record cards of different kinds of monuments have been increasing all the time; then, a new type of a record card has been prepared to cover monuments of architecture and building with an expanded substantial description and illustrational part. The recording has also comprised monuments of rural buildings, structures erected after the second half of the 19th century, monuments of engineering, cemeteries. The Centre has included into its activities the inventorying of archaeological sites within a framework of the programme referred to as the Archaeological Picture of Poland. Department of Monuments of Architecture and Building has now more than 30,000 cards, while Movable Cultural Property Department — 200,000 cards. In 1985 the latter collection of cards of movable cultural property was recorded on computer discs. At present, computerization is to cover other collections as well. The H.M.D.C. records also historic towns and it carries out town-planning studies and has rich iconographie documentation. From 1976 the Centre has been coordinating — together with the Polish Academy of Sciences — research work within an interbranch programme known as „Monuments of culture — the source of national consciousness” . Card indexes of goldsmith’s work and music instruments are set and research work is done on the history of engineering. Architectonic and archeological studies are carried out on fine examples of Romanesque architecture (e.g. in Strzelno). Apart from the books Publishing Department of the H.M.C.D. publishes three magazines („Ochrona Zabytkow” , „Spotkania z Zabytkami" and „Muzealnictwo” ). Archives Department collects priceless collections left behind by deceased conservators and research workers and carries out, i.a., the inventorying of architectonic drawings. Museology Department covers bibliography of the content of museum publications. Photo library of the Centre has nearly 30,000 photographic negatives of architectural monuments and the Library has almost 20,000 books and 630 titles of magazines. Because of such an intensive development the Centre suffers from the shortage of space, the more so that plans for future envisage a further expansion, just to mention the opening of a computer section for all collections. The Centre plays an essential role in the organization of the work of conservation services and cooperates on a regular base with district offices for monuments documentation. The most important feature of the Centre is an excellent atmosphere with regard to human relations, the understanding of the aim of work and its priority statute in face of difficulties caused by rather hard conditions.
