It was in 1898 that the Society of Friends of Kraków History and Heritage first published its "Krakow Yearbook" – a body dedicated to the city’s cultural history, a publishing house dealing with the entire history of Krakow, its institutions and monuments. The editor of the first ever volume of the Krakow Yearbook was Stanisław Krzyżanowski, a man who tirelessly encouraged Krakow’s historians to contribute dissertations and articles. That inaugural volume featured dissertations by, among others, Franciszek Piekosiński on the gothic hall of the Hetman's House, Władysław Łuszczkiewicz on Krakow’s old cemeteries, Stanisław Kutrzeba on the topic of beer in Krakow, Leonard Lepszy on the city’s Goldsmith Guild and Stanisław Wyspiański on the former polychromy of the Church of Holy Cross. The dissertations that have featured in the "Yearbook" have covered a wide variety of themes in the history and life of Krakow. Much has been written about the city’s past and historical events, including the history of the Church. These texts have described various types of architectural monuments from different eras and representing different styles, all based on source materials. Many articles have dealt with Wawel and the Jagiellonian University. Others have described, among other things, the history of crafts, industry and technology, trade and guild organizations, Krakow’s townspeople and families, as well as the city’s political and cultural life. A few articles have described the topography of ancient Krakow, its heraldry and urban sigillography. Others have focused on the history of art in Krakow (its painting, sculpture, crafts, theatre and music), as well as the city’s customs and traditions. Yet others have described and analysed archaeology, urban planning, and the protection and conservation of monuments. Some have focused on the history of particular city districts. Articles have also focused on well-known Krakow figures, discussed Krakow guidebooks and presented a bibliography of the city. The authors of these contributions have included renowned historians, historians of art, archeologists and researchers. We cannot name all of them.
