Muszyna Almanac for Little Homeland
1991-2012
Introduction
Over the two decades during which the Muszyna Almanac
has been appearing, we have assembled between its covers a wealth of knowledge
on the history and culture as well as the present day of Muszyna, Krynica,
Żegiestów and a number of localities bordering the historic State of Muszyna,
the southern Nowy Sącz district and the northern Spiš region. The knowledge
we have gathered is now available to all interested parties online. Our
yearbooks traditional and electronic versions have numerous readers both
in Poland and abroad.
We live in times of dynamically developing contacts amongst
representatives of different European communities. Moreover, we are dealing
with a great wave of migration to and from Poland. Our compatriots living
abroad have neighbours to whom they must convey knowledge about the land
of their forefathers in the language of the country of residence. Therefore,
if we want to present our achievements to the world and have other communities
recognise them, we must also speak about our local history and culture
in foreign languages. This publication has been prepared in four different
language versions Polish, English, German and Slovak. We invite you
to take an imaginary trip with us along the Almanacs pathways which serve
to build a sense of pride in the history, culture and contemporary times
of our Little Homeland.
The first chapter proposes a stroll across the Muszyna
Almanacs 22 yearbooks. The next chapter deals with the content of the
Almanacs bibliography. You are subsequently invited to get acquainted
with that unique wealth of the Sącz area its local press. Moving along,
we present the programme initiatives of the Society of Friends of Muszyna
Almanac, including our flagship programme the scholarship fund. And
finally, in the footsteps of Professor Kazimierz Przyboś, we invite you
to travel the meanders of Muszyna history, followed by a short stroll
along its present-day streets and attractions.
We would like to cordially thank: Łucja Bukowska, Izabela
Cywa, Zuzanna Długosz, Sylwia Gacek, Renata Kopacz, Kazimierz Przyboś,
Małgorzata Przyboś and Agata Szymańska for their voluntary work on preparing
the texts for this publication.
The foreign-language translation has been financed through
a grant from the Małopolska Patronage 2012 programme, for which we extend
our heartfelt appreciation to the Małopolska Marshals Office and which
we have put to good use.

The
Almanac of Muszyna (Almanach Muszyny)
is an annual publication that has been printed for the community since
1991 under the auspices of the Friends of Muszyna Society. The 15th
Jubilee Almanac of Muszyna was edited on June 2005.
The Almanac carries the ISSN number ISSN 1234-6276.
1,000 copies were printed. This annual publication is a community initiative
on the part of the authors and editors. The paper and printing is financed
from private funds. Money raised by distribution of the Almanac is put
towards the Muszyna Almanac Scholarship Fund as well as helping to bring
to fruition the statutory aims of the Muszyna Public Library and Regional
Museum.
Muszyna Almanac (Almanach Muszyny),
or what every tourist, cure-taker, guest and friend of Muszyna should
know.
'The Muszyna Almanac' is a yearbook published since 1991 under the patronage
of the Society of Friends of the Muszyna Area. It is put together by volunteers
- neither the editors nor the authors and illustrators accept any remuneration
for their effort.
Our
sphere of interest centres on the history and present day of Muszyna and
its environs or what was once known as the 'State of Muszyna'. That name
was once given to the landed holdings of the bishops of Kraków, managed
by the Muszyna district authorities. We also take an interest in several
neighbouring localities as well as Slovakia, chiefly in the localities
of the northern Spisz and Szarysz regions.
Each year the 'Muszyna Almanac' gets thicker, containing a growing number
of texts, and its graphics are also expanding. We work with dozens of
people, including
university staff and representatives of other scholarly institutions.
As a result, the Almanac's articles are becoming mini-treatises of a sort
and that frequently raise interesting and important issues affecting the
region. We likewise eagerly print the unique memoirs of people linked
to the Muszyna area through birth or sentiment, thereby saving from oblivion
people and events of local importance. We realise that such notes have
a chance to survive only in local publications, so we make every effort
to convey knowledge of important local matters to the younger generation.
Our pages also have room for poetry and a bit of literary prose, thereby
promoting authors with roots to Muszyna and providing opportunities to
novice writers who had previously not been able to have their works published.
Apart
from publishing activities, we are also conducting several campaigns to
integrate the local community and promote the region beyond the borders
of the Muszyna area. We have first and foremost set up a Scholarship Fund
for our gifted young people from the Muszyna and Krynica areas who are
enrolled at the Muszyna Senior Secondary School and the State Music School
in Krynica. Under our Polish-Slovak cooperation arrangement, we also grant
two scholarships to young people from Stara Lubowla. Another aspect of
that cooperation are joint appearances by young Polish and Slovak musicians
at a December
concert in Stara
Lubowla and a New Year one in Krynica. Both concerts enjoy great popularity
with their audience. Readers and friends of the 'Muszyna Almanac' contribute
free-will donations to the Scholarship Fund's special account. The Society
of Friends of the Muszyna Area enjoys the status of a public benefit organisation,
hence people may earmark 1% of their income tax for the scholarships.
Part of the funds comes from Warsaw's Batory - Foundation, which supports
our activities, and the Łódź - based Educational Enterprise Foundation.
Our
young scholarship recipients - pupils and leavers of the Muszyna Senior
Secondary School - have scored considerable success in Olympiads and other
competitions and have been admitted to difficult faculties at prestigious
universities. Since the programme has been under way since 1998, we have
witnessed a number of our scholarship recipients earning their Master's
degrees in the meantime.
We
collaborate with the Krynica Photographic Society and each year organise
an 'Architectural Detail' competition. It involves recording in artistic
photographs details threatened with destruction or irreversible disappearance
from the architectural townscape of Muszyna, Krynica and other localities
in the former 'State of Muszyna'. Each edition of the competition produces
an abundant harvest in the form of beautiful pictures which are displayed
in summer at Krynica's Main pump-room. The participants are both photographers
connected to the region as well as people from distant localities who
are fascinated by our region's beauty.
In cooperation with the TPSP Club we organise competitions and exhibitions
for local artists, primary non-professional ones. We have succeeded in
holding an auction of the works of one of the Muszyna artists representing
what is known as
'art brut'. The proceeds went towards our Scholarship Fund and to help
finance therapy sessions at the Social Aid Home in Nowy Sącz.
The 'Muszyna Almanac' editorial office uses its own resources to collect
postcards from Muszyna, Krynica and Żegiestów, as well as old drawings
and postal and court receipts from our region. Since we hold that our
knowledge about collecting thing should be shared, we have used our collections
not only to illustrate successive yearbooks, but also display them at
exhibitions held at Muszyna's hospitable Municipal Library.
Each
year on the first Saturday of July we organise a picnic at Muszyna's Wanda's
Garden, where we play host to our friends and sponsors from the Scholarship
Fund. That get-together provides an opportunity to award scholarships
and prizes to a fresh batch of recipients, whose numbers have been growing
each year.
Apart from current information about our initiatives, our 'Muszyna Almanac'
Web site contains indexes of geographic and personal names as well as
a bibliography of the yearbooks issued to date.

W uzasadnieniu podał, że "od roku 1920 sprawuje on urząd lekarza miejskiego i położył duże zasługi dla rozwoju Muszyny jako uzdrowiska. Nadto pracuje w kilku organizacjach społecznych a w szczególności w Stowarzyszeniu Polski Czerwony Krzyż jako prezes poświęcił wiele pracy na organizowanie kursów sanitarnych. Pod względem lojalności państwowej bez zastrzeżeń". Ponadto burmistrz wnioskował o przyznaje odznaczeń kierowniczce szkoły nr 2 na Folwarku w Muszynie oraz Adamowi Matyjewiczowi, starszemu strażnikowi Straży Granicznej w Muszynie. 1939-06-04 Z okazji 20-lecia PCK w Muszynie miejscowemu Kołu wręczono sztandar.
