In the ten articles featured in this volume, the contributors initiate a discussion on how and to what extent political changes, armed conflicts, economic, social and technological transformations that have taken place in Central and Eastern Europe over the decades have influenced the process of creating historical sources, their preservation and accessibility. Each author has attempted to document significant transformations, both past and present, in order to reveal their impact on records, management and archives. The partitions of Poland, political events, World War II and the war in Ukraine, digitalisation, the legal environment of the European Union, the development of information technologies, and the activities of community archives are just a few examples of the factors that influence how historical sources are created, archived, preserved or destroyed.
Currently the borders that delineate both physical and ideological spaces are constantly shifting within and around Europe.

This collection consists of the papers accepted for presentation as part of the 8th annual conference of the GCfE. The yearly colloquium provides an opportunity for postgraduates across a variety of academic backgrounds to en ...

This volume offers the first comprehensive analysis of wills in late medieval Krakow. It presents the origins of testamentary acts in the Kingdom of Poland and its centre, Krakow, and their subsequent transformation from so called ‘canonical wills’ to ‘communal wills’. Wysmułek discusses the socio-cultural role of wills and sets them in their contemporary legal, social, and economic context. In doing so, he uncovers their influence on property ownership and family relations in the city, as well as on the religious practices of the burghers. Ultimately, this work seeks to change the perception of wills by treating the testamentary act itself as an important agent of historical social change – a ‘tool of power’.
Jubileusze związane z ważnymi wydarzeniami w życiu ludzi nauki często przynoszą okolicznościowe publikacje zawierające zbiór tekstów, najczęściej autorów z najbliższego środowiska Jubilata, nawiązujących zazwyczaj do jego dokonań i obszaru zainteresowań badawczych. Do tego rodzaju publikacji należy również recenzowany tom przygotowany z myślą o uczczeniu 65. rocznicy urodzin dr hab. Wiesławy Kwiatkowskiej, prof. UMK, dotychczasowego kierownika Zakładu Archiwistyki IHiA UMK w Toruniu. Na zawartość tytułowej Księgi składa się wstęp autorstwa dr. hab. Waldemara Chorążyczewskiego oraz 16 artykułów oscylujących wokół zagadnień teorii i metodyki archiwalnej, a więc tego obszaru archiwistyki, jakiemu Szacowna Jubilatka poświęciła większość swoich publikacji z okresu pracy naukowej na Uniwersytecie Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu. Nie brak jednak tutaj i tekstów nawiązujących do praktycznych zagadnień, szczególnie związanych z opracowaniem zasobu archiwalnego. dr hab. Krzysztof Syta (fragment recenzji)
Historycznie archiwistyka splatała się z prawem, paleografią, dyplomatyką, historią, zarządzaniem dokumentacją, informatologią, antropologią kulturową. Czerpała z tych dyscyplin, ale też dyscypliny te czerpały z niej. Na pograniczach rodziły się najciekawsze idee. Wydaje się, że archiwistyka, wciąż zmieniająca się i wzbogacająca, dzięki permanentnemu otwarciu na inne dyscypliny zachowała swoją tożsamość i można ją uznać za zjawisko długiego trwania. Teksty zamieszczone w tomie są zarówno pogłębionymi analizami poruszonych wątków, zaprzeczeniem postawionym tezom, wskazaniem na przeoczone, jak również przewidywaniem pograniczy, które dopiero się pojawią.
Eighth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 183 economies, Doing Business 2011 measures regulations affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business. The report updates all 10 sets of indicators, ranks countries on their overall ease of doing business and analyzes reforms to business regulation- identifying which countries are improving strengthening their business environment the most and which ones slipped. Doing Business 2011 includes results on the ongoing research in the area of "getting electricity" and illustrates how reforms in business regulations can translate into better outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and the wider economy. It also focuses on how women in particular are affected by complex business regulations.

Print, in the early modern period, could make or break power. This volume addresses one of the most urgent and topical questions in early modern history: how did European authorities use a new medium with such tremendous potential? The eighteen contributors develop new perspectives on the relationship between the rise of print and the changing relationships between subjects and rulers by analysing print’s role in early modern bureaucracy, the techniques of printed propaganda, genres, and strategies of state communication. While print is often still thought of as an emancipating and disruptive force of change in early modern societies, the resulting picture shows how instrumental print was in strengthening existing power structures.
