| Summary: | The article, whose introductory parts survey the history of church libraries in Poland since the Middle Ages, through the losses sustained during World War II up to their further development during the communist regime, focuses on one aspect that has emerged after the fall of communism: computerisation and the use of catalogues. The main theme revolves around the establishment and operation of a special association of church libraries, the Federation of Church Libraries ‘Fides’, and its most significant achievement: the creation of the Union Catalogue of Church Libraries in Koha software, launched in 2014. |
