Abstract
The role that civil society plays in protection of historic monuments and sites is defined in Polish strategic documents. No procedures for cooperating with historic preservation officers have been, however, established. This article looks at an organisation named “Social Guardians of Monuments and Sites” and says why it is necessary to use its services in view of the existing system being inefficient. Additionally, it also explains reasons behind this inefficiency and explores various cooperation possibilities. Moreover, the article points out that even when the services responsible for protection of monuments and sites are reformed, cooperation with the above-mentioned organisation will be still needed and justified. This results not only from considerable disproportion between responsibilities and possibilities of both institutions but also from effectiveness of the government body being questionable. Furthermore, the structure of historic preservation services should be based on cooperation requirements - it should be simple, clear, and should allow for using already gained experience.
