History

Rocznik Historii Czasopiśmiennictwa Polskiego was established in 1962 and initially published in Wrocław. Its publisher was the Research Unit for the History of Polish Periodicals of the 19th and 20th Centuries (Pracownia Historii Czasopiśmiennictwa Polskiego XIX i XX wieku) at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Instytut Badań Literackich PAN). The annual was devoted to scholarly articles on the history of the Polish press. In 1977 the publication was renamed Kwartalnik Historii Prasy Polskiej (Quarterly of the History of the Polish Press), reflecting a change in frequency and title. Since 1998 it has been published as Rocznik Historii Prasy Polskiej (Yearbook of the History of the Polish Press). The publisher is the Press Studies Commission (Komisja Prasoznawcza) of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków. The journal thus represents a continuous scholarly tradition in Polish press history, with its title and frequency evolving over the decades while remaining under the aegis of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
