Prasa regionalna jako źródło do dziejów obozu władzy w Polsce w latach 1926-1939 na przykładzie województwa pomorskiego

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present – in case of Pomeranian Voivodeship – the role of the provincial press as a source material for the history of regional structures of the Sanacja Camp, which was in power in Poland after the May Coup d’Etat of 1926. The regional papers, both pro-governmental and opposing (in Pomerania especially national democratic), belong, like all the official documents of local administration, to the most important sources for researchers of the Post-May Camp and Polish home policy at the provincial level. Attentive reading of both, the opposing press as well as official documents of the state authorities, makes it possible to analyse the formation process, directions and working methods of the following political structures of Sanacja Camp: Bezpartyjny Blok Współpracy z Rządem 1928-1935 (Non-Party Block for Cooperative with the Government) and Obóz Zjednoczenia Narodowego 1937-1939 (the Camp of National Unity) as well as various social, economic and professional institutions focused around the two organisations.
