The paper presents the history of the Files as a Krakówbased journal, the specificity of this architectural publication, major research trajectories, developing academic specializations associated with the discipline of architecture and urban planning, against the background of the multi-directional operations of the Urban Planning and Architecture Commission. Reference is also made to the Commission’s other publication and research activity, and which has contributed to publications in the Files. Furthermore, the paper presents a selection of thirty-seven Polish journals (ranging from those from the late 19th century to contemporary ones) associated with the present-day academic discipline: architecture and urban planning, in an interdisciplinary perspective. Research methods considered typical for such studies were used: analysis of library catalogues and collections, databases and archives. A literature review was conducted and, among others, other architectural journals were analysed: peer-reviewed academic, trade and journalistic journals on architecture, urban planning and related disciplines. The analysis also covered fifty volumes of the Files. Comparative studies and critical analysis was used. The study demonstrated the main groups of interests of researchers and showed the multi-disciplinary nature of architecture and urban planning as a discipline, and presented cooperating disciplines. More than five decades of the Files’ operation illustrates changing trends and tendencies in research subjects. On the one hand, these are research results with a universal, global application, while on the other, the Files remains close to Kraków traditions and identity.}, type={Article}, title={Fifty Years of the Urbanism and Architecture Files of the Polish Academy of Sciences Kraków Branch: A Contribution to the History of Architectural Journals in Poland}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134124/01_Teka_tom_specjalny_2024.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2024.152184}, keywords={architecture and urbanism, architectural journals, Poland, Kraków, publishing traditions, architectural journalism}, }
