The inspiration to write this text was the article of Ewa Klimuszko (2019) on organic matter studies conducted in the Polish Geological Institute. This paper shortly reviews the history and present-day of coal and dispersed organic matter petrological studies conducted in the Polish Geological Institute. The focus of this review is on some aspects to coal petrology with respect to coal genesis as well as application of organic petrology to petroleum geology and to recognition ore mineralization processes. Futher possibilities of this research in the Polish Geological Institute have been mentioned.
