Mission
The Institute for the Historical Geography of the Church in Poland was founded by Professor Jerzy Kłoczowski. Formally established in 1957 as an agenda of the Learned Society of the Catholic University of Lublin, it became an independent research unit of the Catholic University of Lublin in 1968, and in 2010 it was incorporated into the structure of the Faculty of Humanities of the University.
The Institute for the Historical Geography of the Church in Poland is the main research centre for the study of the history and spatial organization of the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations in Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Institute implements a research plan on socio-religious geography using new geoinformation technologies (spatial databases and GIS technologies) and conducting publishing series, e.g. Materiały do Atlasu Historycznego Chrześcijaństwa w Polsce (Materials for the Historical Atlas of Christianity in Poland), Studia i Materiały do Historii Chrześcijaństwa w Polsce (Studies and Materials for the History of Christianity in Poland), Geografia Historyczna Kościoła w Polsce (Historical Geography of the Church in Poland).
Since its founding, the Institute has cooperated with various academic centres in Poland and abroad. The annual national scientific conference for historians of religious orders is one of the scientific events regularly organized by the Institute.
