łączymy kolekcje

Kolekcja zebrana przez Michała Gucia stanowi obszerny zbiór znaczków, stempli i kopert dystrybuowanych w Polsce lat 80. w drugim obiegu. Znaczki stanowiły formę poparcia dla „Solidarności” i opozycji patriotycznej. Część z nich była tworzona przez artystów, a część przez samych działaczy-amatorów. Niezwykle ciekawą część zbioru stanowi poczta strajkowa oraz poczta obozowa. Michał Guć posiada jedną z większych kolekcji tego typu, którą zdołał zgromadzić dzięki osobistemu zaangażowaniu w walkę o przemiany demokratyczne.

The collection illustrates Adrian Marino’s intellectual evolution as a historian and literary critic who chose to pursue his activity outside the institutions controlled by the communist regime. The Marino Collection includes books, original manuscripts, and the author’s correspondence, which reflects a critical perspective on Romanian literary life in the period 1964–1989.

The collection illustrates Alojzij Šuštar's theological and pastoral work as a priest and archbishop who led the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Ljubljana despite the restrictions on freedom imposed by institutions under the communist government’s control. The Collection includes books, original manuscripts, Šuštar’s published articles and his correspondence and polemics, which demonstrate his critical stance toward Slovenia’s communist regime in the late years of the regime and in the period of transition to democracy.

The collection portrays the life and work of two Romanian intellectuals separated by the Iron Curtain, the brothers Aurel and Emil Cioran. While Aurel Cioran experienced imprisonment and then lived in Sibiu, Romania, his brother lived in Paris from 1941, where he became an internationally known French essayist. The collection comprises original manuscripts, correspondence, books, photos, and personal documents from the period 1911–1996.

The collection illustrates Anton Vovk's theological and pastoral work as a priest and bishop who led the Catholic Church in the Ljubljana Archdiocese despite being persecuted by the institutions under the control of the communist government. The Collection includes books, original manuscripts, the author's published articles and correspondence, showing Vovk's critical stance on Slovenia’s communist regime in the period until his death in 1963.
