Studia Metodologiczne 2021. t. 51 (numer specjalny), ss. 195–2220073-277Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/10593/26738The aim of this article is to present selected methodological threads of the discussion on the status of historical sources which took place in Polish post‑war historiography. In the article, I present the concepts of the historical source formulated in 1957–1989, mainly by Gerard Labuda and Jerzy Topolski. Further in the text, I will present the discussion about Topolski’s concepts and characterize the peculiarities of contemporary history as regards historical sources. In the light of the presented classification of sources, I will reflect on the status of the documents created by the apparatus of repression of the Polish People’s Republic.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessnarrationnarrativecontemporary historysourcehistorical sourcesnarracjahistoria najnowszaklasyfikacja źródełArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.24425/hsm.2021.138886
