Statuty organizacyjne archiwów diecezjalnych w Przemyślu i Płocku. Analiza porównawcza

Abstract

Diocesan archives in Przemyśl and Plock are one of the oldest institutional diocesan archives in Poland. The archives were established in 1927 and 1928, respectively. This article is intended to make a comparative analysis of the archives’ statutes. The archive in Przemyśl came into being as a current archive of the episcopal curia and a historical archive, whereas the archive in Plock only as a historical one. The statutes regulate the basis of the archives’ operations. They define their institutional separateness, identify their objectives and resources. The statutes also formulate basic principles whereby records are received. They also establish tasks and responsibilities of the director and other employees and provide general rules of making archive material available. In terms of content, the statutes cover the same topics, but they differ in detailed solutions. The differences arise from the specific functions of the respective archives in the dioceses.
