abstract in English:	There are large reserves of different astronomical plates in Poland. We plan to digitize them, convert to FITS format, supply with metadata and calibrate with positioning software providing a coordinate grid. Then the digitized data will be published as the part of the project of Virtual Observatory for the wider astronomical community.
