Description
Summary:The years 1945–1953 in Wrocław were a time of reconstruction of the city and creating an entirely new community, its cultural, educational and scientific life. One of the many problems of everyday life for new residents was a lack of printed texts in Polish. Beside creation of libraries and lending libraries, a startup of publishing movement was very important. It was started by about 50 institutions – professional publishing houses, bookshops, but also societies, educational institutions, offices, political parties, and finally the authors themselves or their families. The most important role among them was played by private institutions. Lata 1945–1953 we Wrocławiu to czas odbudowy miasta i tworzenia zupełnie nowej społeczności, jej życia kulturalnego, oświatowego i naukowego. Jednym z wielu problemów życia codziennego nowych mieszkańców był brak polskiego słowa drukowanego. Obok powstawania bibliotek i wypożyczalni, duże znaczenie dla zaspokojenia tych potrzeb miało uruchomienie działalności wydawniczej. Podjęło ją około 50 instytucji – profesjonalne oficyny, księgarnie, ale także towarzystwa, instytucje naukowe, urzędy, partie polityczne, czy wreszcie sami autorzy lub ich rodziny. Najważniejszą wśród nich rolę odegrały instytucje prywatne.
