The first half of the 19th century saw a considerable
growth of paper industry in the Polish Kingdom,
which was directly associated with the general technical
progress and the steadily widening range of
activities of Polish publishers. Although lots of high-
quality papers were still further imported from abroad
the manufacture of wove papers was started in
paper mill at Mary mont near Warsaw in 1821 and
then at Jeziorna and Sople. Particularly high quality
papers were achieved at Jeziorna paper mill where
also the production of machine-made papers was
started.
It is a well-known fact that as librares and archives
are basic source for investigations and studies of history
of paper-making are to be. Among them the
family archives are most hardly accessible for reseachers.
The collection of family documents from the
years 1818—1870 concerning the family of Kolbergs
famous for their merits for the Polish culture, gathered
by the late Professor B. Marconi is considered
to be extremely interesting. The author carried out
in analysis of papers forming the above collection
from two viewpoints, i.e. this of provenience and that
quality of papers which enabled the following findings:
(a) the central institutions of the Polish Kingdom
willingly the high-quality papers of Dutch make,
(b) the development of domestic paper mills caused
that in addition to those imported there were also
applied the wove papers from Jeziorna mill, (c) starting
from the mid-nineteenth century the handmade
papers gave gradually their place in those machine-
-made.
