Summary:In 1816, the Polish branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) was established in Warsaw to distribute Catholic and Protestant Bibles in Polish. It operated intermittently throughout the nineteenth century, subordinated to the larger BFBS agencies in Vienna or St Petersburg. The organisation expanded its operations in the interwar period under the leadership of Aleksander Enholc and continued to grow after the Second World War. In 1967, Bar- bara Enholc-Narzyńska was appointed as its head. In 1992, the branch formally became independent and has since operated as the Bible Society in Poland.
