Problemy organizacji nowych urzedów konserwatorskich : województwo słupskie

The region of Słupsk voivodship, brought to life in 1975, is not rich in historic monuments but they make an essential element o f the landscace, which — with a touristic nature of the region — increases their value. From the very beginning of voivodship’s life the conservator of monuments made attempts to establish the Office for the Research and Documentation of Historic Monuments. The Office was opened early in 1976 and is an independent budget body. It undertakes studies and compiles documentation on all kinds of works of culture. In 1976 the Office acquired suitable premises and equipped them with necessary implements, to mention only special bookcases for storing catalogue cards. At that time numerous field investigations were made and they confirmed devastation of many historic monuments. A working group attached to the Histoiic Monuments’ Conservation Workshop was set up with an aim to carry on conservation works commenced at Bytów and Słupsk. Concluding his article, the author puts forward postulates concerning, i.a., historic building being devastated by their present users nad emphasizes a social role of the protectors of the monuments in assisting the conservation services.
