"Journal of Polish Gynaecology" ("Ginekologia Polska") has been accompanying Polish obstetricians and gynaecologists in their work and professional development for eighty-five years. It is an organ of the Polish Gynaecological Association (Polskie Towarzystwo Ginekologiczne), and its launch coincided with the origin of an idea to join Polish obstetricians and gynaecologists into one learned society. The first issue of "Journal of Polish Gynaecology" was published in April 1922, two months prior to the establishment of Polish Gynaecologists' Association (Towarzystwo Ginekologów Polskich). Typically, journals appear on the market due to an initiative of academic societies, in this case the publication of the journal preceded the establishment of the academic society. The journal has been published until today, with a nine-year break resulting from the outbreak of World War II, and plays a vital role in the development of the Polish gynaecology. 77 volumes of the journal have appeared until today and the journal has had 7 editors. "Journal of Polish Gynaecology" is celebrating its eighty-fifth anniversary this year.
