This popular Polish poet of the Romantic era was also one of the first geographers in the world and a versatile scholar. Wincenty Pol travelled a lot and was familiar with the nature and antiquities of Galicia. In 1866-1867, he collaborated with conservator Mieczysław Potocki as a correspondent of the Central Commission for the Protection of Monuments. During this time, he became a vocal critic of the institution.

Fr. Ivan Stupnytskyi is an example of an intellectual for whom, despite his religious rank, studies in numismatics and archeology did not have a clearly religious basis, being rather a pleasure at leisure, which his education and high social position allowed him. Chancellor of the Greek Catholic Church, bishop of Przemyśl and deputy marshal of the Galician Diet, he also was a correspondent of the Viennese Central Commission for the Protection of Monuments in 1866-1890.
