Traps lurking on researchers of the Polish émigré press in the UK in the 20th and 21st century
Journal Title: Z Badań nad Książką i Księgozbiorami Historycznymi - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article discusses difficulties encountered by researchers of the Polish émigré press in the UK. The main problem is the incompleteness of archival collections and yearbooks of specific magazines, lack of reliable, holistic, scientific studies of this subject, significant dispersion of the collections, frequent lack access to them, required ability to read the political or social context of the sources burdened with provenance of specific political options, coteries and groups, necessity to reference the memories of a few living representatives of the generation of the „invincible”, who edited the refugee magazines. An important issue is the proper selection of sources.
