The article was prepared on the basis of the query in Polish as well as German printed and archival sources: research papers, contributions, monographs, historical studies and statistical lexicons, including most of all voluminous series of Royal Prussian Statistical Office in Berlin and publications of Imperial Statistical Office of German Reich. The article describes results of statistical research performed by Prussian Offices concerning Polish lands under Prussian rule, Poles in the Prussian census and urban statistics of cities of Wroclaw, Berlin and Poznan as well as Polish statisticians acting in Prussia and Polish scientific societies under Prussian partition dealing with economic research. The literature on the subject was also analysed and the usefulness of Prussian statistics in historical research (especially on demography and economic issues) in relation to the development of Polish lands under Prussian rule was evaluated.
The aim of this article is to present the research conducted by the Polish statisticians within 1939—1945. The paper was prepared on the basis of the query in the Central Statistical Archive of CSO and the State Archive of the Capital City of Warsaw, as well as German statistical sources, reports, memoirs, chronicles, press articles, biographies and historical monographs. It presents the work of the Polish statisticians employed by the Statistical Office of General Government in Cracow and the underground statistical research conducted mainly by the Institute of Social Economy under the name of the Central Welfare Council in Warsaw, including especially the effort of Ludwik Landau and Jan Piekalkiewicz. Also, the illegal statistical education and activity of the Government of the Republic of Poland in exile relating to the statistics were discussed. The study shows that under the Nazi occupation Polish statisticians conducted underground statistical research mainly in Cracow and Warsaw and their results were delivered to the structures of the Polish Underground State and to the Polish Government in exile in London.
The purpose of the paper is to present the process of organization and the results of thecensus carried out in December 1919 in the Eastern Lands of the Second Polish Republic by the Civil Administration of the Eastern Lands. The main tasks of the Civil Administration of the Eastern Lands included the assessment of the size of war losses as well as building the foundations for the Polish administration system in those territories of historical Lithuania that had become a part of the reborn Polish state. Hence the census in 1919. Its results have been of great importance for both the history of statis-tics and the history of Poland. In the main part, they were incorporated into the first gen-eral census of the Polish population carried out by Statistics Poland(GUS) in September 1921. Additionally, those data made it possible to develop a temporary administrative division of the territories incorporated into the Second Polish Republic in 1921, after sign-ing apeace treaty with Russia. They were also used while forming a development plan for the eastern territories of the reborn Poland.
