Polish Entomological
Union (Polish: Polski Zwi±zek Entomologiczny) was founded
in Lwów in 1923. It was an immediate successor to the Entomological
Section of the Lwów Branch of the M. Copernicus Polish Naturalists'
Association that had been operating since 1920. Prof. Zygmunt
Mokrzecki was elected the first president of the PEU. From
the very beginning of its existence the aim of the PEU was:
"a thorough research work, i.e. taxonomy, biology, applied
entomology, etc., on insects, especially those living in Poland,
and publishing own publications".
In 1923 the periodical Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne (Polish
Entomological Papers) started to appear regularly although
its first volume had been published a year earlier. Works
on own research library started the very same year. In 1925,
Poznań-based Entomological Society (founded in 1924) was admitted
to the PEU as the associate member, and, in 1935, the first
scetion, and the only in the pre-war period, was established
- the applied entomology section.
From the very beginning of its existence PEU's history was
inseparably tied to the newest history of Poland. Neither
the economic crisis of the 1930s nor the tragedy of the WWII
spared the Union. However, after the war the Union was brought
back to life in Wrocław in 1947. New library was restored
in 1948 and new regional branches of the Union emerged a year
later (in Poznań, Warsaw and Wrocław).
The advancing communization of the country led to financial
and programmatic subjection of the Union to the control of
the Polish Academy of Science. Over the next twenty years
the official activity of the Union was subjected to the guidelines
set up by the successive plenary assemblies of the Polish
United Workers' Party and the resolutions of the Polish Academy
of Science.
In 1963 the seat of the Union was transferred to Lublin and,
in 1967, to Warsaw. In September 1965 the hitherto existing
name (PEU) was changed to that of the Polish Entomological
Society (after a resolution adopted during the plenary session).
In 1969 Biuletyn Informacyjny ( PES News-letter) was published
for the first time. The Bulletin was re-named Wiadomosci Entomologiczne
(Entomological News) in 1980. The submission to external influence
had became more and more relaxed since the 1970s until, during
the historic Annual Meeting in 1989, new officers were elected
and the editorial boards of the periodicals issued by the
Society were changed. The official seat of the Society was
moved to Wrocław.
In 1998, in the year of the 75th anniversary of the foundation
of the Polish Entomological Union, a Jubilee Meeting of the
Society was held in Poznań. At the conference, Poznań was
chosen the next official seat of the PES and a number of changes
to the Statute of the Society was introduced.
