Odzyskana pamięć Upamiętnienia w wybranych izbach regionalnych na Śląsku Opolskim

The article discusses issues related to folk culture and tradition by highlighting selected region- al chambers in Opole Silesia. It also features people who founded and continue to run those regional chambers. The emphasis was on a thorough discussion of two chambers, which were the first to sign cooperation agreements under the „Ocalone Dziedzictwa. Regionalne Izby Pamięci Ziem Zachodnich i Północnych” („Rescued Heritages Project. Regional Memory Chambers of the Western and Northern Territories”) in 2022 – „Chałpka Starzików” in Bogacica and the Silesian Chamber in Otmice. People labor together to create a memorial chamber, a work which can often take even several decades. The article aims to educate the general public on how the studied institutions were established, where the collections originate from, what their purpose is, who takes care of them, why regional chambers exist and whether they have a future.Interviews with those in charge of regional chambers, texts from the quarterly „Wczoraj, Dzisiaj, Jutro” („Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”), reports and scientific publications are among the sources used by the author in her discussion of the subject matter.
