The Polish Statistical Association was established in Cracow in 1912. Its main objective in the pre-war period was to prepare a statistical description of the traditionally Polish territories from the earliest times to the creation of PSA. Juliusz Leo, its first President, was a professor of Jagiellonian University and the then President of the city of Cracow.	The history of Poznan spans over a 1000 years, dating back to the origins of the Polish state. The tradition of statistical research in the province of Wielkopolska began at the start of 20th century, with the establishment of the first statistical institutions.

The educational project entitled „Occasional publications and exhibitions connected with 100th anniversary of the Polish Statistical Association prepared for the Congress of Polish Statistics” was financed by the National Bank of Poland (NBP).
