TO THE FEMALE TELEPHONE OPERATOR
The historical texts published in "Głos Bolesławca" are not academic publications, but rather popular works intended for a broad readership with varying levels of preparation. The newspaper may present historical journalism, rather than a scholarly historical study. The sources used by the authors are scattered across various publications, including German ones, are difficult to access, and often went out of print long ago.
I believe that after completing the series "from the history of the city," the authors will provide a bibliography of the sources they used at the end.
The undersigned most often uses sources such as:
1. E. Wernicke, Chronik der Stadt Bunzlau, 1884,
2. Heimatbuch des Kreises Bunzlau, 1925,
3. Heimatbuch Bunzlau – published in Germany by the Homeland Association from Siegburg,
4. Janusz Bachmiński – Bolesławiec, 1970.
5. KALENDARIUM BOLESŁAWCA, compiled by Z. Szczepański and P. Śliwka and published in Rocznik Jeleniogórski,
6. The book "Bolesławiec Yesterday and Today," published in 1985, by Paweł Śliwko.
Despite the various opinions about it, the latter book is still available, and its information and chronology covering the period after 1945 contain a great deal of useful historical material about postwar Bolesławiec.
I would like to remind readers that Bolesławiec does not have a comprehensive monograph. One is currently being prepared.
And while we are on the subject, I believe that the editor of "Głos Bolesławca" made an exception by publishing the content of the anonymous phone call, which should not happen in the future.
