The article explores directions of possible changes to be made to the model of monument protection. It not only recommends specific provisions but also focuses on a model understood as a structure of definitions and relations existing among them. This allows for rough description of a selected aspect of reality. The analysis comes down to deliberations on monument protection system, including necessary duties and competences of government and local government administration bodies. Effects of the principle of subsidiarity and decentralisation of Polish historic preservation administration were brought into special focus. Additionally, narrow scope of duties was determined for state and local government administration bodies.

Since their foundation on the 1st of July 1991 until now, the Regional Centres and their founding body – the Centre for Documentation of Monuments have been subject to changes and transformations. On the 29th of July 1998, the Minister of Culture and Art approved the existence of 11 Regional Centres for Studies and Protection of Cultural Environment. At the beginning of 2003, CDM was transformed into the National Centre for Research and Documentation of Monuments, and the RCSPCEs into Regional Centres for Research and Documentation of Monuments. Yet another change of the name of the Regional Centres into Local Divisions of the NCRDM occurred in 2010. Since the 1st of January 2011, these institutions have been operating as the Local Divisions of the National Heritage Board of Poland. The idea of the interdisciplinary nature of the Centres’ personnel remains unchanged. Collecting, processing, and sharing information about the region’s heritage and cultural environment had and still has a permanent and fundamental value. In the beginnings of the Centres’ existence, it was important to make the local administration aware of the significance and value of cultural property for the development of local communities. In the mid-1990s, the Regional Centres became partners of local governments in the implementation of tasks related to the protection of monuments and the cultural environment. They cooperated with conservation services and nature conservation institutions. In 2001, a programme of field verification of the register of monuments was prepared, which was resumed thanks to directors M. Gawlicki and P. Florjanowicz, and is still being carried out presently. Modern forms of documentation were introduced. After 1995, the Regional Centres received the records and resources of the former PP PKZ (State Enterprise Monument Conservation Studios). The archives became available for the circle of researchers and students. In 2002, the Centres began cooperating with Marshal Offices creating web portals which featured verified information about cultural heritage. Cooperation with local governments resulted in the implementation of the “Programmes for the Guardianship of Monuments” and the creation of a methodological guide on the subject, among others. Problem-based conferences organised by the Centres were and still are very significant. A new form of monument protection – cultural park, was created partly thanks to the experiences of the employees of the Regional Centres. The Centres’ activity is visible when drawing up applications for monuments of history and inscriptions on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Archaeological research, and gathering knowledge about archaeological sites and finds have all the time been included in the orbit of the Centres’ tasks and interests. Since 1993, the Centres have organised the European Heritage Days. This activity results in the engagement of local governments, regional societies, PTTK (Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society), and the media in the preparation of the EHD. For years, publishing activity in the form of cyclical publications, periodicals, and books has been carried out on a large scale. The Centres have initiated and developed projects of cultural trails, including the wooden architecture trail. Since 1992, the Centres have established cooperation with heritage institutions in Slovakia, Lithuania, and Germany (the inscription of the Muskauer Park on the UNESCO World Heritage List). The Regional Centres have cooperated with international organisations, and helped with organising international activities of the headquarters. In the 20 years of their existence, the Centres have carried out enormous work related to the documentation of the Polish cultural heritage. They have significantly contributed to hundreds of conferences, symposiums, and trainings. They have convinced local authorities that the cultural landscape and monuments attract tourists and investments. The verification of the register of monuments, which is being carried out right now, is an attempt at a systemic review of the resources and the state of protection of monuments in Poland. The Centres make up a network of the most deeply settled field agencies of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, providing access to up-to-date information from the regions, the monitoring of monuments, and the possibility to directly communicate the state politics in the regions.
