Poznańskie środowisko historyków edukacji i jego związki z Krakowem

Abstract

Established on September 1, 1967, Department of History of Education of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań continues the Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) traditions of research into the past of education, which began in the Middle Ages, existed in the 19th century, and developed after the 1919 creation of Wszechnica Piastowska (the University of Poznań). Poznań printers printed the works of H. Kołłątaj, B. F. Trentowski, and J. A. Łukaszewicz. A. Karbowiak originated from the region of Cracow. University research into history of education was conducted by Antoni Danysz, Bogdan Nawroczyński, Stanisław Tync, and priest Karol Mazurkiewicz in the Seminary. After the World War II, workers in the Poznań centre were Marcin Wachowski, Jan Szelejewski, Tadeusz Strumiłło, Jan Stoiński, Stefan Wołoszyn, Józef Kwiatek, Stanisław Michalski, Jan Hellwig, Wiesław Jamrożek, and Dorota Żołądź- Strzelczyk. There have been, and there are, many and varied relations between Poznań and Cracow academic circles. A. Danysz and S. Tync spent part of their lives in Cracow. Stanisław Michalski, Jan Hellwig, and Wiesław Jamrozek cooperated with the educational historians from Cracow, such as Kamila Mrozowska, Czesław Majorek, or Zygmunt Ruta. For Poznań historians of education, Cracow remains a centre that offers valuable archive and library collections.
