The origins of Teka Komisja Historyczna date back to 2004. It was established as an annual publication by the Polish Academy of Sciences, Lublin Branch. Following the reorganization of the Polish Academy of Sciences, volume 15 was published in 2018, jointly published by the Polish Academy of Sciences, Lublin Branch, and the Learned Society of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Since 2019, the Journal has been published solely under the banner of the Learned Society of KUL. This necessitated a change in the title from Teka Komisja Historycznej PAN Oddział w Lublinie to Teka Komisji Historycznej Towarzystwa Naukowego KUL (Teka of the Historical Sciences Commission of the Learned Society of KUL). The ISSN number was changed accordingly. The Journal retained the same composition of Scientific Council, thematic layout and format. Only the cover design was modified.

Aim and scope

The journal presents the results of research on the broadly understood history of Poland and the world, both with reference to political and military issues, economic history, culture or religious organisations. Each volume has a leading theme defined by the Editorial Board, so each volume constitutes a thematic unit. Teka Komisji Historycznej is addressed to historians, both in Poland and those representing foreign research centres.

Previous issues of the Journal are available on the website of the Lublin Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
