Archiwum Konwentu Polonia – dokumentacja dorpacka

Journal Title: Miscellanea Historico-Archivistica - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue 24

Abstract

Konwent Polonia – the oldest academic corporation existing to this day, which was founded in 1828 in Dorpat. Its history, until Poland regained independence, was turbulent – full of conflicts with German students and the Russian authorities, but also not without time for fun and self-education. Unfortunately, materials that directly documented corporation's activity between 1828 and 1882 were destroyed. This paper presents the documentation preserved from the period 1883–1918, and thus at a time when the Konwent Polonia existed in Tartu - in the absence of the Polish State. The article also shows the short history of this corporation's archive. These collections are currently held in two institutions, the Archdiocesan Archive of Warsaw and the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius . They document the activity of the Polish academic corporation from the period of partitions.
