The scholarly journal ‘Archiwa, Biblioteki i Muzea Kościelne’ (ABMK) is a publishing house of the Institute of Church Archives, Libraries and Museums of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. The periodical has been published continuously since 1959. The journal was founded by Fr Romuald Gustaw OFM, the Director of the Catholic University of Lublin Library and Rev. Stanisław Librowski, the Director of the Diocesan Archive in Włocławek, who also became the editor-in-chief of the periodical. The three first volumes of ABMK were released as quarterly journals. Since 1962 (the fourth volume), the journal has been published twice a year. The journal is of a unique character as it publishes articles from three areas: archive studies, library science and museology. All refer to the cultural institutions of the Catholic Church.
The original version is the electronic version.
