With a total of 580 pages, a new monograph of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski has been created after over a 25-year hiatus. "The History of the City of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski" [Original title: Dzieje miasta Ostrowca Świętokrzyskiego] is a work by 10 authors, representatives of the academic world, various institutions, media, and organizations, created under the editorship of Paweł Gotowiecki – the rector of the Jozef Goluchowski University of Applied Sciences.  

The monograph is the result of several months of collaborative effort. It presents the history of the city up to the year 1990, with subsequent years outlined in the form of a chronicle. It comprises a total of 10 chapters and includes an extensive photographic documentation.

On 10 November 2022, a meeting with the authors of the monograph was organized at the Municipal Public Library, aiming to promote this, eagerly awaited by the local community, initiative which is part of the Ostrowca Świętokrzyskiego "Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski – City ReNEWal" project, funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway under the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism.

First of all, we want to equip history and social studies teachers with these copies so that they can use this material in the teaching process and disseminate it, allowing future generations of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski residents to identify with our city," said Artur Łakomiec, Vice President of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, during the meeting.

A total of 500 copies of the monograph were published.
