A register of public registers

Abstract

The article introduces the idea of creating a register which would gather information on public registers run in Poland. The idea of setting up this register emerged as a result of works of the group on public registers operating as part of the program of cooperation between Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and National Digital Archives. The main goal of creating the register of registers is to make it easier for archives to develop guidelines on collecting public registers (in electronic form, above all) by generating their list, studying their functioning, and then – providing their detailed description in the designed aid.
