Good news from the Polish National Archives online database szukajwarchiwach.pl

They have just announced their twice a year release of scanned documents:
http://www.szukajwarchiwach.pl/aktualnosci/32

Highlights: 1.3 million new scanned images added to the szukajwarchiwach database, thereby increasing their total holdings to 27,087,543.

The summary listing of the new scanned records can be found at: https://www.nac.gov.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Aktualizacja_listopad_2017.pdf

There are lots of new BDM records from the southern wojewodstawa of Poland:
• Krakow archive including some of their regional branch archives specifically Bochnia
• The Zamośc archive makes a welcome appearance with lot of new scanned images
• The Lublin archive makes its usual appearance

Also, from central Poland:
• The Kutno branch archive of the Płock archive
• And a lot of records from the Mazowsze region of central Poland – Grodzisk Mazowieckie and Mława branch office archives.

And finally, an appearance from the north west of Poland: A couple of towns covered by the Szczeczin archive.

Looks like hours of fun, especially for those people researching central and south eastern Poland.

Unfortunately, none of my regions of interest Sooooo....... looks like another trip to Poland is needed to get to the records that I am after.
