The Archives of the Metropolitan Curia in Krakow hold a significant collection of the Krakow diocese's liturgical calendars. From the first half of the 18th century, only three copies have survived (1735, 1738, and 1745). Beginning with 1750, the collection is almost complete. Only 9 volumes are missing, from the years: 1753, 1754, 1755, 1756, 1775, 1779, 1781, 1784, 1789, and 8 from the beginning of the 19th century: 1802-1804, 1806, 1808-1810, 1839. Due to the widespread use of the calendar by priests, the following items were added to the directories: information on services and practices peculiar to the diocese, orders of the clergy and secular authorities (especially regarding chan-ges in liturgical and fasting regulations). Until the last decades of the 19th century, there were no rules for editing the appendices to the directories. Some volumes include numerous detailed liturgical regulations, as well as messages, ordinances and short letters to the clergy that have not been published anywhe-re else. Others do not contain even the new and important regulations and or-ders for the priests. These appendices are a valuable resource for historians, albeit rarely used due to a small number of preserved copies and the lack of description of the contents, which necessitates a lengthy query. The publica-tion of the catalogue of the Krakow directories is intended to provide help in finding information that may prove useful for a historian.
