INTRODUCTION
The study was supported by the Polish Committee for Scientific Research
(KBN) as the grant no. 3P04G 09223. The Polish database is a part of the
IUGS Global GEOSITES project, carried out by the European Association
for the Conservation of the Geological Heritage (ProGEO). The whole
presented material contains descriptions of 175 sites (areas) arranged in
order to physiographical regions of Poland. The database, prepared in 2006, is open and
should be supplemented in the future. It is the first such English edition in
Europe destined for Internet and prepared according to the format, which
was proposed by ProGEO. Next ones are expected, because similar
databases of representative geosites of particular European countries
will be the important adventage to the development of geoconservation
on the international level. The presented database is a work of the team
of authors from several Polish institutes and universities.They are listed
below in order to the number of sites described by them. The editor's
thanks to all collaborators which participated in the initiative.
