The history of Jerusalem is long and unclear. There are many doubts considering the city’s history before it was conquered by the Israelites. The only written source of information about it is the set of famed letters from Tell el-Amarna, six of which were written by Abdi-Hepa, the prince of Jerusalem. There is no detailed information about Abdi-Hepa available. However, his letters present him as an energetic politician. His actions made Jerusalem powerful in middle Canaan, and the neighboring countries accused him of hostility and attempts to take control over them. Unfortunately, archeological research does not confirm this theory. The findings show a relatively small town and no remains which could suggest the real size of the town were found. It gave rise to much controversy over the issue.

This article focuses on the history of Wuchengzhen 吳 城 鎮, a small town in the inland province of Jiangxi. It explores the history of the town between 1500 and 1850 in terms of both its local significance as an entrepot for trade in grain and tea and its global connections to early modern Europe, by way of the trade in porcelain. The question this paper explores concerns the juxtaposition between, on the one hand, the idea gained from global historians, that during the early modern period, globally traded commodities like tea and porcelain situate a small town like this in a globalized, perhaps even unified or homogenous, world, and on the other hand, the insight gained from cultural historians, that no two people would ever see, or assign meaning to, this small town in the same way. Drawing on this insight, the history of Wuchengzhen is explored on the basis of different textual (administrative records, local gazetteers, merchant manuals) and visual sources (maps and visual depictions of the town), exploring the ways in which the different meanings of the town are constructed in each. The combination of global and cultural history places Wuchengzhen on our map of the early modern world.

The focus of this study is on a khipu—a knotted—string recording device-from the Chachapoya region of the northeastern Andes of Peru. The khipu was one of 32 khipus discovered, along with some 220 mummy bundles, in 1996 in a half-dozen chullpas (burial houses) built into a rock-overhang overlooking a lake, called Laguna de los Cóndores, near the town of Leymebamba (Department of Amazonas). The cultural materials found with the mummies and khipus date from the pre-Inkaic Chachapoya culture (ca. A. D. 800-1450), through the Inka occupation of the region and on into the early colonial era. It is argued that the khipus stored with the dead represented tomb texts, which contained information pertaining to the history of the mummies and the social groups descended from them. One of the khipu samples (UR6) is interpreted as a combined biennial calendar and census of the tribute payers in Chachapoya territory, around Laguna de los Cóndores, in late Prehispanic times. It is argued that khipu UR6 was the source of information from which the first colonial census in the region was drawn up by the Spanish administrators, in 1535.

Anísio Melhor was born in the city of Nazaré, located in the Recôncavo da Bahia, on May 7, 1885. From reading his work, the most important source of information found about the writer, it is clear that journalism is one with his life. Self-taught, it was in the newspapers that he directed and collaborated that he became a poet, novelist, short-story writer, literary critic, folklorist and chronicler. Among the literary genres he published in periodicals, chronicles are the texts that most show his modus scribendi, as well as pointing out clues to his intellectual path and his evolution as a writer. In some of his texts, he discusses the journalist's solitary work, combining his experiences as a reader of the most varied newspapers and, especially, as a journalist in his small town. According to the writer, the provincial newspaper values every reader in its small town, knows its audience very closely, writes down the events day by day: now it is the chronicle of social nature, now it is the commentary on the deaths, now it is telluric poetry, now it is the birth of another child, now it is the chapter of another novel or novella. Thus, in the newspaper he founded and directed for a few decades, O Conservador (1912-1945), Melhor every day (re)constructed the history of his people, recording their traditions, stories and memories. The researches carried out in literary archives for the composition of this article contributed to revive the memory of this writer and to divulge his literary production and his work as a journalist.

Early printed books from the Krakow Town Archives of Former Records in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. Initial investigation, provenance analysis The collection of early printed books stored in the National Archives in Krakow has not been processed so far. This article aims to approximate the current state of knowledge regarding the contents of the collection. The historic book collection of the Archives, represented by both Polish and foreign printed books covering various subjects, numbers slightly over 650 works issued before 1801. Included in this number are 28 early printed books from the 16th century, 210 from the 17th century and 413 from the 18th century. The oldest one – Liber horarum canonicarum secundum veram rubricam sive notulam ecclesiae Cracoviensis – was issued in 1508 by the publishing house of Jan Haller in Krakow. The origins of the early printed books vary – they come from donations, acquisitions of archival materials as well as purchases. The greatest number come from donations, with the following donors worthy of special mention: Ambroży Grabowski, Józef Seruga and Franciszek Biesiadecki, as well as Józef Muczkowski, Karol Estreicher and others. An invaluable part of the collection (61 works) are the printed books from the library of Hieronim Pinocci (1612–1676), a merchant, royal secretary and diplomat, acquired from the town archives at the end of the 19th century. Many works, especially those concerning the history of Krakow, were also purchased using the funds of the Archives. The early printed books gathered in the library of the National Archives in Krakow create a particularly valuable collection, which may also be a source of information concerning provenance.

This chapter sets out the key research questions addressed in the book. These concern the role of English towns in the commercial revolution that was underway in the thirteenth century. There is a particular focus on the medieval property market, and on the citizens who were active in that market. The chapter reviews previous literature, and explains the choice of Cambridge as a case study. This choice is largely dictated by a unique source of information, namely the Cambridge Hundred Rolls, which are also described in this chapter. The Hundred Rolls date to 1279, but the origins of the town were much earlier. The early history of the town is set out, so that the context of the Hundred Rolls can be fully understood.

This article discusses the history of the annihilation of sztetl Gritze, a Polish-Jewish town in Central Poland. In the first part of the article, the author describes the tragedy of the Jewish inhabitants of this small town: the creation and the destruction of the Jewish  ghetto and the hardships undergone by those who lived there, and who were subsequently deported to the Warsaw ghetto.  The history of the Grojec prisoners of the work camps in Skarżysko-Kamienna, Smoleńsk and Słomczyn are equally examined. In the second part of the article, the author analyses the Jewish-Polish relations in the occupied Grojec. She distinguishes two stages of these relations; the break between these two would have occured, she argues, at the time of deportation of the Jewish inhabitants of the town in February 1942 to the Warsaw ghetto. This event marked the beginning of the transformation of the sztetl Gritze into Judenrein, in which, up to now, the common Jewish-Polish past has been virtually non-existent/ obliterated.

Powołane przez Radę Miejską w 1887 r. Archiwum Aktów Dawnych Miasta Krakowa wzbogacało swój zasób dzięki darom przekazywanym przez mieszkańców – zarówno archiwaliów czy muzealiów, jak i książek. Natomiast działające od 1878 r. Krajowe Archiwum Aktów Grodzkich i Ziemskich w Krakowie, podlegające galicyjskim władzom krajowym, zaufanie ofiarodawców zaczęło zyskiwać dopiero po przejęciu w 1919 r. przez władze polskie. Te działania kontynuowało od 1952 r. Wojewódzkie Archiwum Państwowe w Krakowie, powstałe z połączenia obu archiwów (obecnie Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie). Wspieranie powstających w Krakowie w XIX w. muzeów i bibliotek gromadzących pamiątki minionej świetności Rzeczypospolitej było uznawane za patriotyczny obowiązek, z czasem dawało możliwość zabezpieczenia dla przyszłych pokoleń dokumentów rodzinnych, materiałów wytworzonych przez osoby aktywnie działające na różnych polach czy instytucji lub organizacji, które zakończyły działalność. Archiwum zawsze z wdzięcznością przyjmuje ofiarowywane archiwalia dotyczące Krakowa, Małopolski czy szerzej Galicji, bowiem misją archiwów państwowych jest zachowanie wszelkich materiałów archiwalnych będących źródłem do dziejów Polski i jej mieszkańców. Expansion of archival resources through donations. A contribution to the events of the National Archives in Krakow and its predecessors in the 19th–21st centuries Established by the Town Council in 1887, the Krakow Town Archives of Former Records enriched its resources thanks to donations from inhabitants – both archival materials or museum items, and books. However, operating from 1878, the Local Archives of Records of the Courts for the Nobility in Krakow, under the Galician authorities, only began to obtain the trust of benefactors after it was taken over by Polish authorities in 1919. These activities continued from 1952 in the form of the State Archive of the Krakow Province, founded through a merger of both archives (currently the National Archives in Krakow). Supporting the museums and libraries founded in Krakow in the 19th century that collected souvenirs of the past greatness of the Republic was regarded as a patriotic duty, providing an opportunity to safeguard for future generations family documents, materials created by those active in various fields or institutions and organisations which have ended their activities. The Archives always gratefully accepts donated archival materials connected with Krakow, Malopolska or Galicia, as the mission of the state archives is to store all archival materials that could be a source of information concerning the history of Poland and its inhabitants.

Is a digital copy of a loved as socially valuable as the real person? Is there an advantage if being able to permanently lose the ones we love? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Rachel receives a letter while at University informing her that her Uncle Stewart has passed away. She returns to the small town for the funeral and talks with Grandma Ruth, the local restaurant owner. Grandma Ruth sets Rachel up a date, but things don’t go quite as planned. Rachel confronts Grandma Ruth and finds out that she has slowly been replacing the town citizens with robot copies in order to keeping the dying town’s population from dwindling to zero. The story ends with Grandma Ruth asking Rachel to take over the responsibility of maintaining her families, and the towns, robot population.

This paper presents the concept of a digital twin for the ETCS application. The ERTMS system is a technical solution aimed at ensuring interoperability of the railway system in the field of signalling within the European Union. It is also an important factor in the digitisation and automation of railways. Due to its complexity, it needs solutions to support its activities in all phases of the life cycle, in particular design, implementation, maintenance and operation. A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real system. According to many definitions, this mapping should be as close to identical as possible. Such a mapping should, by definition, accompany the real system throughout its lifetime, providing a consistent description of the current state and history of its operation. This mapping should be the primary source of information about the real system for all stakeholders interested in its operation. This paper presents the basic assumptions of the Digital Twin of the ETCS application in terms of its structure and its application to the verification of its correctness.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some correspondence between Robert Schomburgk (1804–1865) and Adolphe Brongniart (1801–1876). Four letters survive, containing information about the history of Schomburgk's collection of fishes and plants from British Guiana, and his herbarium specimens from Dominican Republic and southeast Asia. A study of these letters has enabled us to confirm that Schomburgk supplied the collection of fishes from Guiana now in the Laboratoire d'Ichtyologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The letters of the German naturalist are an interesting source of information concerning the practice of sale and exchange of natural history collections in the nineteenth century in return for honours.
