Zespół Archiwum Prymasa Polski w zasobie Archiwum Archidiecezjalnego w Gnieźnie

The Archdiocesan Archive in Gniezno, which was created in 1960, includes, among others, the Primate of Poland Archive from the period of the interwar, war and post-war (until 1948). The Primate of Poland Archive is divided into three sections. Section I (The Primate of Poland) encompasses the issues connected with the broadly understood church and state activity of two primates, Edmund Dalbor and August Hlond and it includes 228 archival units. Section II (the Gniezno and Poznań Ordinaries) focuses on the issues connected to the activity of Archbishops Edmund Dalbor and August Hlond as the Gniezno and Poznań ordinaries and includes 105 archival units. Section III (The Protector of Emigration Affairs) refers to various issues connected with the primates’ activity among the Polish community abroad (also among seasonal workers) during the interwar period; it has 120 archival units. In addition, Section IV (The war period) was created, which includes 40 archival units. The Primate of Poland Archive is a valuable source for the history of the Church, Poland and the Polish community abroad in the years 1919-1948.
