1857 - The beginning of the publishing house
The publications related to natural sciences date back to the beginning of the society bearing the name: Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Nauk Poznańskiego.
The Section of Natural Sciences (Wydział Nauk Przyrodniczych) first published a brochure in 1859 which consisted of 26 pages. The first Board of the Society (1857) decided to issue a journal on an annual basis. The editor was Wladyslaw Niegolewski, a renowned activist for science in the Wielkopolska region. In 1860 the first volume was published (Roczniki Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk - see on picture).
The publishing of journals has contributed to the systematic exchange of publications. From 1864 annals were sent to a number of important national and international research centres. PTPN is continuing with this exchange, which involves more than 400 major institutions holding the world's scientific publications. Text prepared based on the brochures "Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk 150 lat w służbie nauce i uczonym” PTPN, Poznań 2010.
1950-2007 Publication series
A series of publications within the PTPN section of Forestry and Agricultural Sciences was established by the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences PTPN in 1950.
