Początki organizacji badań geologicznych w okresie międzywojennym. W 100-lecie odzyskania niepodległości

Characterizing the beginnings and then the development of scientific staff in Poland during 1918-1939, the role and importance of the social environment associated with geological sciences is presented. Of about 4.4 thousand scientists working at the end of the Second Polish Republic, there were almost 200 geologists who carried out studies on the geological structure of Polish lands. Some of them conducted geological research for documenting raw material deposits. Geological sciences were developed mainly at the Polish Geological Institute, at the universities of Warsaw, Cracow, Lwów, Poznań and Vilnius, and at the Geological Station in Borysław.
