Within the framework of Scientific Libraries Consortium of [[Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship|Kujawsko-Pomorski Region]], [[Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń|Nicolaus Copernicus University]] [[Nicolaus Copernicus University Library|Library]] in [[Toruń]] has started a long-term enterprise of building a [[digital library]] called '''Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library'''. The project implementation was financed by [[European Union|EU]] [[Structural Funds and Cohesion Funds|Structural Funds]] and first collections are to be created in the years 2005-2006. At the end of 2006 the collections were accessed.

The main aim of the project is to create a regional digital library to support the development of an intellectual and innovative potential of the society, to make a quick access to information and knowledge content possible, and to protect valuable documents of the region and national literature works. The project was innovative and experimental, as concerns [[Poland|Polish]] libraries (one of the first ones in Poland).

Project participants in expenses and its implementation:
* Nicolaus Copernicus University Library in Toruń – the coordinator of the project;
* [[NCU Collegium Medicum Library]] in [[Bydgoszcz]] - partner;
* [[Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz|Kazimierz Wielki University]] Library in Bydgoszcz – partner.

As well as remaining libraries of Scientific Libraries Consortium of Kujawsko-Pomorski Region, which will use and develop the project.

'''Following groups of collections:'''
* Science Collection – including digital copies of selected handbooks, monographs and scientific articles from the region.
* Cultural Heritage Collection – including digital copies of the most valuable and used items: incunabula, old prints, manuscripts, iconographical collections, cartographical items, emigrational collections, etc.
* Regional Collection – collecting digital copies of: regional publications, leaflets, posters, playbills, photographs, invitations, exhibition catalogues and trade fairs of the region.
* Music Collection – digital copies of scores.
* Maps Collection – digital copies of selected maps of the region.

Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library is to serve scientists, students, pupils and all the citizens of the region. Its implementation will depend on all librarians engaged in the project and the authors, who would want to place their works in a digital library. In the future it will depend also on institutions, which would wish to enlarge its holdings of other collections important for the region. Nicolaus Copernicus University Library is opened for each good proposal towards enriching digital base of this digital library.

'''Cricot 2''' was a Polish [[experimental theatre]] company based in [[Kraków]]. It was founded in 1955 by the renowned theatre director, professional painter and assemblage artist, avantgarde set designer and art theorist [[Tadeusz Kantor]], with artwork in the collections of the [[National Museum in Kraków]] and [[National Museum, Warsaw|Warsaw]].

Productions were initially based on dramas by [[Witkacy]], but later plays were genuine creations of Tadeusz Kantor himself.<ref>Ośrodek Dokumentacji Sztuki Tadeusza Kantora [http://www.cricoteka.com.pl Cricoteka]
</ref>

==Background==
Cricot 2 played in Poland and abroad. The greatest popularity and recognition Cricot 2 received for its original production of the ''Dead Class'' (''Umarła klasa'') of 1975;<ref name="klasa">{{cite web | url=http://filmpolski.pl/fp/index.php/424003 | title=Umarła klasa. Seans T. Kantora | publisher=Film Polski | date=2013 | accessdate=17 October 2013 | author=Andrzej Wajda}}</ref> a new theatrical format invented by Kantor. It was dubbed the "Theatre of Death", a kind of spiritualist séance, evoking sensory images, words and sounds deformed by the passing of time. Based on his personal memories and experiences of [[the Holocaust]], Kantor tried to capture the collective memory of the [[Polish-Jewish]] tragedy of mid twentieth century.

Kantor created his own unique visual [[Canon (basic principle)|canon]] and theatrical ambience impossible to repeat or continue after his death in 1990. Soon thereafter, his last production called ''Dziś są moje urodziny'' (Today is my Birthday) has been completed and performed by the actors without his presence and the company ceased operations, even though the discussions whether or not to continue without him were split.
