About the History and Culture Foundation
The History and Culture Foundation was established in 2004. We publish historical books, organise fairs, festivals and literary open-airs, including the Warsaw International Book Fair, the Historical Book Fair, the Katowice Book Fair, the Gdynia Literary Open-air, the YANA Festival and the Autumn Book Fair. We implement projects aimed at popularising historical knowledge and reading through an attractive model of presenting Polish and world literature.
In 2024, we organized four fair events, one literary open-air and one young adult and new adult literary festival, i.e.:
- we provided the audience with 19 days of contact with literature and its creators;
- we had 1,200 exhibitors in total;
- 1,445 authors took part in our events;
- 1,465 meetings with authors took place on stages and at exhibitors’ stands;
- our events were visited by approx. 260,000 people!
- we conducted and resolved three competitions – the KLIO Award, the Academia Award and the Grand Prix of the Criminal Warsaw Festival
