PAUart
This is a catalogue of iconographic artistic and scientific collections owned by PAU and partner institutions – primarily PAN and the Historical and Literary Society of Paris. The funds required to maintain it have been obtained from a variety of sources, including the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the National Programme for the Development of the Humanities, and the Małopolska Voivodship Regional Operational Programme.
Three stages of the project have so far been completed. The fourth is nearing completion, and a fifth is being planned.
Stage I, 2014:
Nine thousand objects were digitised, processed, and published, including 2,500 engravings (including masterpieces by Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt) and 6,500 photographs (including from the collection of Karol Lanckoroński and the legacy of Karolina Lanckorońska). The portal also features albums by Bronisław Piłsudski from Sakhalin and by Michal Greim from Kamieniec Podolski, which are of high scientific and artistic value. The objects made available are held in the collections of the PAU and PAN Academic Library in Kraków, the Lanckoroński Photothèque, and the PAU and PAN Scientific Archive in Kraków.

The www.pauart.pl portal also includes the results of other research projects, which do not have ‘PAUart’ in their title but do involve the processing and digitisation of further iconographic objects. These projects are carried out by PAU and a number of cooperating institutions:
• Rome – J. Michałowski Library – 2014-2017, Processing, digitising, and making available the special collections of the J. Michałowski Library in Rome (PAU Rome Arts and Science Base)
• Polish Library in Paris Special Collections – 2014-2022, Scholarly preparation of collections of sculpture, paintings, drawings, miniatures, and prints of the Historical and Literary Society of Paris and the Polish Library in Paris based on inventory taking (PAU)

So far, more than 34,500 objects have been published on the portal. More will be added soon.
