- This article aims to present the history and role of the “„Bulletin of the Armenian Cultural Association” in the Armenian community. The bulletin was created in 1993 as the first magazine published by Armenians after World War II. It was founded by the Armenian Cultural Society in Krakow in 1990, and according to the intention of the publishers, “was to serve well anyone interested in the Armenian culture, in particular the whole community of Polish Armenians.” Since it was founded by the Polish Armenian-repatriates from the former Eastern Borders and their descendants, they were the backbone of the authors published in the first editions. It can even be said that the bulletin was a liaison between Polish Armenians scattered throughout Poland, giving them an opportunity to rekindle memories and foster the Armenian culture in pre-war Poland in Lvov, Kuty, Czerniowce and Baniłów,, located in Romania. The editorial team managed to engage scientists (mainly historians) from various academic centres (not only Polish) to make the “Bulletin” a scientific periodical. It has significantly increased interest in Armenian roots and genealogical quests, leading to what is now refrred to as a “Renaissance of Armenian identity” in the Polish society. The bulletin is written in Polish (thus reaching out to readers from outside the minority) with the Armenian minority in mind. The subject – mostly the history and culture of Polish Armenians – revolves mainly around the Polish Armenians, less so immigrants of Armenian origin, who, after the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics began to come to Poland in large numbers. The bulletin is a flagship activity of the Armenian Cultural Society in Krakow with a goal of fulfilling the needs and interests of all the Armenians living in Poland. By analysing the contents of the bulletin the author shows its functions as a source of information, a documentary and an integrating factor. The magazine is available on subscription and in libraries to Armenian families scattered throughout Poland. The integrating function also manifests itself in projects inspired by the bulletin. At a minimum level, the journal integrates Armenians in a transnational dimension through publication of texts devoted to Armenians settled in different countries. The information function is reflected in coverage of current events (reports and a chronicle). The documenting function consists in numerous publications concerning the history of Armenians in Poland and other countries, their culture, religion and language. A large part of them contains impressive iconographic documents and write-offs of privileges. These texts are aimed at sustaining memories of the glorious past among Polish Armenians coupled by awakening their awareness. By accessing a broader audience (libraries, publishing some of the editions online), the bulletin is used to disseminate knowledge about Armenians on a larger scale and to challenge stereotypes. There is no exaggeration in saying that the bulletin has a mission of guarding the glorious history of Armenians in Poland.
