Overview

Wydawnictwo Sejmowe (the Sejm Publishing House) is the official publishing arm of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, operating within the structure of the Chancellery of the Sejm. It was established in December 1990 on the initiative of Ryszard Stemplowski, the first head of the Chancellery after Poland's free elections. Its mission is to disseminate the legislative output of the Sejm, knowledge about the history of parliamentarism, and publications that can be used in parliamentary work. The publisher addresses its output to parliamentarians, lawyers, historians, political scientists, journalists and humanities students, as well as anyone interested in historical-parliamentary and socio-legal topics. Its catalogue includes series such as Parlamenty (Parliaments), Konstytucje (Constitutions), Wiedza o Sejmie (Knowledge about the Sejm), and Systemy konstytucyjne państw świata (Constitutional Systems of the World), alongside biographies, lexicons, albums and guides to the Sejm of successive terms containing biographies of deputies. Together with the Bureau of Sejm Committees it prepared a pioneering publishing series devoted to the culture of national minorities in Poland. It has also been the publisher of the monthly Kronika Sejmowa, the bimonthly Przegląd Sejmowy, and books, studies and periodicals of the Sejm Analysis Bureau. The publisher's seat is in the Wojciech Sawicki House at ul. Zagórna 3 in Warsaw, while its bookstore is in the building of the Sejm Committees at ul. Wiejska 1 (hall of building U).

Political Thought and Przegląd Sejmowy, monographs such as Polski Sejm w Unii Europejskiej, and albums such as The dearest memento for posterity.
