    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2013) Derewenda, Robert; Nowicki, Tomasz
    The Central Archive of the Light-Life Movement is the central unit of the Light-Life Movement. Organizationally, it is one of the two branches of Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki Institute. Like any historical archive, its aim is to gather, organise, protect, store and provide access to archival materials. The records stored in the fonds of the archive in question are primarily linked with Rev. Blachnicki, who established the Oasis Movement and initiated many other pastoral and social actions. A number of initiatives started by Blachnicki, along with the Light-Life Movement contributed to the production of materials which are now stored in the Central Archive of the Light-Life Movement. The article presents not only the stages of the creation of the above mentioned fonds but also its current legal status and contemporary tasks and functions. The paper shows the general outline of the fonds of the Archive which comprises numerous records divided into separate units. The Archive also contains a collection of leaflets-still unprocessed, posters and boards, as well as a collection of various serial, compact and brochure publications. The total fonds consists of approximately 120 linear meters of the records. The documentation in the form of mechanical sound recordings constitutes a significant part of the archival fonds (about five thousand hours), photographs (mostly positives of various formats - about 11 thousand photographs), slides (about 1000 frames) and films. The article also focuses on the archival equipment, housing conditions, the rules of providing access to the materials and the most important tools used for storing records. In addition, the authors mentioned issues related to the forms of popularization of the archival materials stored in the fonds of the Archive in question.

    Przywrócenie niepodległości Litwy i odrodzenie Kościoła katolickiego
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2013) Zajankowska, Alina
    The article entitled Events restoring the independence of Lithuania and the rebirth of the Catholic Church shows the change in the political situation and the situation of the Church in Lithuania, which occurred after the collapse of the USSR. Rebuilding initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev changed not only the Soviet Union but also the whole world. The article primarily focuses on the new circumstances that contributed to the rebirth of Lithuanian statehood. There also appeared new conditions for religious activities of the Catholic Church. The Soviet regime ruled the private and public life over 40 years. Things that had enormous importance for Lithuania and its people were: state independence, the establishment of relations with Western Europe, the reorganization of the Church and the recognition of Lithuania as a democratic country by other states.
