Studia Lednickie is a nationwide reviewed scientific journal (with international presence) issued since 1989 by the Museum of the First Piasts at Lednica. It is devoted to the broadly understood history and culture of the Piast Poland, with emphasis on their connections with European culture. The journal welcomes both source studies and synthesising accounts, particularly papers summarising the results of interdisciplinary research in the field of history, archaeology, ethnography, ethnology, art history and anthropology and related natural, physical and chemical sciences.
The first editor of the magazine was Prof. dr hab. Zofia Kurnatowska. The journal was originally published as a compact publication (a publishing series), and since 2004 it has been transformed into an annual journal. Currently, Studia Lednickie (DOI 10.34698/sl), which welcomes the authors and researchers from various institutions in Poland and abroad, is published annually in two versions – printed (basic, reference, ISSN 0860-7893, B5 format, paperback) and electronic (eISSN 2353-7906).
