Wielka Encyklopedia PWN

Wielka Encyklopedia PWN

"Wielka Encyklopedia PWN" ("Great PWN Encyclopedia") is a universal encyclopedia in Polish, published by Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe (State Scientific Publishers, PWN) in Warsaw, between 2001 and 2005.

It is a replacement for the socialist-era "Wielka Encyklopedia Powszechna PWN" ("Great Universal Encyclopedia"), which was considered outdated and criticised for reflecting the official ideology of the period when it was produced (1962-1970). It surpasses the its predecessor in size, with 140 thousand entries in 30 volumes plus a supplement and is now the largest Polish "traditional" encyclopedia ever written.

The Polish Wikipedia exceeded the Great PWN Encyclopedia's number of articles on 22 October 2005.
