Propaganda played an important role in the war of 1920 as a tool in mobilizing polish society to fight the enemy. It was dealt with by civil and military institutions. The milieu of writers and artists who were the creators of propaganda posters joined the propaganda activities. Art playedan important role, the artists provided many works of utility character, created for propaganda purposes. So they contributed to winning the war against the enemy army. Apart from the posters, brochures, leaflets, journalistic texts and literary works were created. However, the posters published in the press, placed on the walls of buildings, and carried during the demonstrations had the greatest impact. Posters with a strongly anti-Bolshevik message were dominant, showing the enemy as a monster, demonizing his image in order to arouse emotions and appeal to the patriotic duty of every Pole. A separate group were mass-printed recruitment posters encouraging to join the Volunteer Army. Józef Piłsudski also appeared on the posters. The authors of the posters used this figure as a symbol of independence struggles. Posters, like other forms, were a psychological weapon in the fight against Bolshevik propaganda. Each of the posters can be analyzed on an artistic level, but from the historical point of view, the most important thing is the propaganda message. W roku 1920 propaganda odegrała ważną rolę w mobilizowaniu społeczeństwa polskiego do walki z wrogiem. Zajmowały się nią instytucje cywilne i wojskowe. W działania propagandowe włączyły się środowiska literatów oraz plastyków – autorów plakatów propagandowych. Artyści tworzyli wiele dzieł o charakterze użytkowym w celach propagandowych. Mieli więc swój wkład w wygraną w wojnie z wrogą armią. Obok plakatów powstawały broszury, ulotki, teksty publicystyczne oraz utwory literackie. Największą siłę oddziaływania miały jednak plakaty publikowane w prasie, umieszczane na murach budynków, prezentowane podczas manifestacji. Dominowały te o wymowie zdecydowanie antybolszewickiej, ukazujące wroga jako potwora, demonizujące jego wizerunek, budzące skrajne emocje i apelujące do patriotycznego obowiązku każdego Polaka. Osobną grupę stanowiły drukowane masowo plakaty werbunkowe zachęcające do wstąpienia do Armii Ochotniczej. Portretowano Józefa Piłsudskiego. Wykorzystywano jego wizerunek jako symbol walk niepodległościowych. Plakaty, podobnie jak i inne przykłady sztuki użytkowej były orężem psychologicznym w walce z propagandą bolszewicką. Każdy z plakatów można analizować na płaszczyźnie artystycznej, ale z punktu widzenia historycznego najważniejszy jest przekaz propagandowy.

QTEI is based on two core components: web browser and JavaScript. The webbrowser, as one of the most comprehensive software packages for handling XML, is widely used and easy to maintain by end users. And JS is often part of the solution for rendering TEI/XML anyway, so with QTEI we created a framework that can fully implement a TEI web presence with these technologies.

Encouraging the use of the digitized materials is a complex goal that involves each - cultural heritage institutions, research funding frameworks, and researchers to some degree. These developments have led a few institutions to initiate GLAM Labs (glamlabs.io) that focus on developing the digital opportunities afforded by galleries, libraries, archives, museums. Following the role models in the international community, the National Library of Estonia has been developing a virtual lab - a portal and an interface for users to gain access and find uses to digital data. This entails keeping in mind the interests of many stakeholders - balancing the needs and opportunities for the library with the requirements for the collection user. We present the virtual lab, its tools and datasets, as launched in January 2023. We will show the journey there and the conclusions made on the basis of this. During the development, we have piloted several interface options to access text sources in bulk and share our data in multiple accessible formats. We've conducted a service design as well as a legal analysis to understand the interests of the representative members of the potential user community and how the library can respond to them. Our virtual lab has aimed to learn from the GLAM Labs in other institutions (see e.g. Mahey et al. 2019). We aim to build our user community so that the researchers get the credit due for their work, and will be offered a place to showcase their work. So that the work done in transforming and enhancing the data by the users would find its way back to the library. And that library itself would get feedback on its collections and find value in its novel potential uses. We will discuss the lessons learned during the development process. We offer access to the open textual resources among the newspapers, periodicals, and book publications 1800-2022, the data from the national bibliography, as well as a number of thematic collections built around it. Our tools include a few visualization tools and interfaces to manipulate and query the data online. And we feature a number of blog posts based on the case studies performed on our collections by students and researchers. These digital collections offer new opportunities for cultural heritage institutions as well as their visitors and users, but the process towards it requires learning from various perspectives. Through encouraged use cases, the users learn better to anticipate and benefit from what the library collections can offer, and the library can incrementally improve the resources that it can offer the users while learning about the value found in these resources. We argue that for a successful project, collaboration is key between these different actors based on their interests, and aspire to offer a good example in how this can be organized in a small community.
