Muzeum w kulturze pamięci na ziemiach Rzeczpospolitej Obojga Narodów

"The present Anthology of museological texts was created as part of the Museum in Polish Remembrance Culture project. ... The Anthology includes the earliest texts produced during the first period of museology studies in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which began in the 18th century (before any institutionalized, organized structure was created) and ended with Poland regaining independence in 1918. The papers relate to many aspects of museology and are quite diversified in both form and content. Rather than providing general thoughts of purely theoretical nature, they include a number of projects, descriptions, interpretations, guidebooks and occasional speeches regarding specific institutions (both the already existing ones and those to be established in the future). ... Each text is followed by a commentary, providing information on the author, the origins of the text and its cultural context."--Volume I, pages 20-21.
