SNIADECKI“ – PRACTICE OF HERITAGE
DISSEMINATION

Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian
Academy of Sciences
b.railiene@gmail.com
10th International Conference on the History of
Chemistry,
Aveiro, Portugal. 2015 Sept. 9–12
Biography of an inspiring personality is a
tool and source to organize commemoration events
• „Lectiones Vilnenses Andreae Sniadecki“ was
started by a lonely enthusiast in 2012, and
now it became a good practice for historians
of chemistry to meet; each time expanding
and attracting a community of science history
enthusiasts.
Biographical study and
bibliography of published
works, also works about
Andrew Sniadecki (Jędrzej
Sniadecki, 1768-1838), a
famous professor of
chemistry at the University
of Vilnius, Lithuania,
inspired us to bring back to
life a tradition to celebrate
his birthday. The event was
rather popular within the
university community in
19th ct.
The personality of Sniadecki has several highlights:
• Leading steps in education of chemistry, establishing a
scientific school;
• Leading tractate in philosophy of nature in Europe;
• Attempt to discover a new element vestium (known as
Ruthenium, discovered later by K. Klaus);
• Revolutionary ideas in physical education for children;
• Humorous nature and popular social activity.
• Collegium medicum – a
place, where A. Sniadecki
gave lectures of medicine.
In the courtyard the first
botanical garden of the
University was started, to
grow herbs for lectures of
pharmacology.
Original place where
A. Sniadecki gave lectures of
chemistry is still available
for public.

• Attraction: a tradition of annual meetings for the
affinity group was warmly accepted by science history
lovers;
• Target group: scientific heritage if presented in an
attractive form – amuse young generation which is
our target group, but lobbying is our reality – we have
to find who will pay for history of science investigation;
• Dissemination: all forms considered: short articles in
popular scholarly press, newsletters, facebook;
documentary film; public lectures; meetings;
demonstrations.
