- ItemDziałalność prof. Stanisława Ptaszyckiego(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2024) Misiura, GrzegorzArtykuł przedstawia sylwetkę prof. Stanisława Ptaszyckiego (1853-1933), zasłużonego badacza historii, filologii polskiej oraz archiwistę. Jego życiorys jest powszechnie znany. Uzupełniono go o szczegóły, jak np. adresy zamieszkania czy przebieg pożegnania na Uniwersytecie Lubelskim w 1926 roku. Jego czterdziestoletni pobyt w Petersburgu oraz prowadzone tam badania naukowe zaowocowały szeregiem cennych i potrzebnych zajęć w nowo powstałym uniwersytecie w Lublinie. Poza tym, przebywając w tym mieście, pełnił funkcję dyrektora Archiwum Państwowego. W 1926 roku został powołany na stanowisko Naczelnego Dyrektora Archiwów Państwowych. Przeprowadził się wówczas do Warszawy, gdzie mieszkał do końca życia. Jednak jego związek z lubelską Alma Mater nie ustał, co potwierdzają prowadzone przez niego zajęcia dla studentów. Na jego przywiązanie do uczelni wskazuje też fakt, że przekazał do jej książnicy swój księgozbiór, liczący kilka tysięcy woluminów. The article presents a profile of Prof. Stanisław Ptaszycki (1853–1933), a distinguished researcher of history, Polish philology and archivist. His biography is widely known. It was supplemented with details such as residential addresses and the course of his farewell at the University of Lublin in 1926. His forty-year stay in St. Petersburg and the scientific research conducted there resulted in a number of valuable and needed classes at the newly established University of Lublin. Moreover, while in the city, he served as director of the National Archives. In 1926, he was appointed Chief Director of the State Archives. He then moved to Warsaw, where he lived for the rest of his life. However, his connection to his Alma Mater in Lublin had not ceased, as evidenced by the classes he gave to its students. His attachment to the university is also indicated by the fact that he donated his book collection of several thousand volumes to its library.

- ItemScouting in the USA in the Light of Socio-cultural Changes in the Polish Emigrant Community(KUL Publishing House, 2024) Wierzbicki, MarekScouting – at first, Polish scouting – appeared in the USA already before the First World War, mainly thanks to its founder, Andrzej Małkowski. Nevertheless, its heyday came in the interwar period, when the American-Polish community realized that it could become an effective tool for promoting Polish culture and interest in the land of their forefathers among Polish youth. After a pause caused by the Second World War, scouting activity resumed, but in a completely different form, i.e. as part of the post-war political and pro-independence emigration, which aimed to rebuild a sovereign Polish state, then in the Soviet sphere of influence. American scouting was then – as a US division – part of the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association (ZHP), which was temporarily active outside Poland and had its structures in several countries around the world. Politically and culturally oriented, and varied in form, the activities of post-war scouting have left a lasting mark in the USA. Among other things, it contributed to slowing down the assimilation of American Poles into the culture of their country of settlement and formed many outstanding social activists, such as leaders at various levels in the structures of the Polish American Congress. However, in the 21st century, it is facing more and more obstacles due to the decreasing number of Polish emigrants and the progressive assimilation of the younger generation of Poles into the culture of the country of settlement. The key process that determined the shape of the scouting movement in this country turned out to be the situation, structure, interests and values of the old and new emigration, as well as the evolution of its ideology and sense of national identity. Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, the ZHP USA continues to operate.
