Polish Historical Society

Founded in 1886 in Lwów by Ksawery Liske as a local society, in 1926 it became the Poland-wide organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge and studies in history of Poland. Since 1974 it has been organizing tournaments of historical knowledge and since 1980 has been organizing academic conferences at five year intervals. It has 46 local chapters, 8 committees and over 3,000 members. Since 2005, it has had a status of a public benefit organization under Polish law.[1]
