Completed works:
The project was a continuation of joint activities with Slovak partners from 2015-2017 and concerned the development of an archival resource of polonica covering issues related to the Sącz-Silesian borderland.

In the fourth stage, the research work covered collections concerning 13 towns of Svidnik and the Svidnik starosty from the second half of the 16th to the first half of the 18th century. The study contains 82 archival materials: a historical introduction, a list of polonica with headings and historical annotations, transcribed documents from manuscript in Latin and Old Polish, and translations from Latin into Polish and from Polish into Slovak. The whole is complemented by photographic material acquired during previous searches. In addition, an exhibition promoting the project was prepared.

The implementation of the project has made it possible to preserve regional cultural heritage for future generations and has opened up possibilities for: 1) to undertake further research with the use of the developed materials, among other things, it made it possible to increase the public's interest in the historical and cultural legacy of the Sącz-Silesian borderland; 2) to deepen the knowledge of the history of the Sącz-Silesian borderland; 3) to enrich the museum's offer.
