Creation of the Journal “Studia Historiae Oeconomicae” (original) (raw)

2017, Studia Historiae Oeconomicae

This year it has been 50 years since the first issue of "Studia Historiae Oeconomicae" appeared in 1967. The idea that led the founders of this scientific journal was to overcome the language barrier and to present the scientific achievements of the Polish economic and social historians on a global scale. In the 1960s, the negative effects of language isolation were felt not only by Poland but also by other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, whose languages do not belong to the world languages. This concerned, to a smaller or greater extent, all fields of culture and science, yet it was particularly noticeable in the field of history. Even today, despite the increasingly widespread use of English as a lingua franca, the language barrier remains one of the main obstacles to communication and dissemination of research results in various language areas. In this state of affairs, the logical and necessary solution was and is to disseminate Polish research achievements by publishing them in one of the main Western European languages. In Poland this function has been fulfilled for over 50 years by "Studia Historiae Oeconomicae", established in 1966 in Poznań by prof. dr Czesław Łuczak and prof. dr Jerzy Topolski, whose first issue appeared in 1967. The SHO genesis is associated with the Congress of Economic Historians in Munich, which took place on August 23-27, 1965.
