The Lviv-based Journal "Nafta" in 1893-1914

The article describes the Lviv-based journal "Nafta", which was published between 1893 and 1914. The journal was published as a monthly or biweekly and its editorial board was composed of professors of Lviv universities and Galician economic activists. "Nafta" was not the first journal devoted to the issues of the oil industry - methods of its extraction, economic questions on this branch of the economy, information on the functioning of the oil industry in other countries or the actions of national and state authorities towards this industry. Such journals had already been published earlier in Gorlice and Krosno and, after the publication of "Nafta" began, also in Jasło (Pawłowski 1995: 366). However, these journals were ephemera, and the Lviv-based "Nafta", as the long-standing organ of the National Petroleum Society and earlier the Society of Petroleum Technicians, was published until the end of July 1914.
