We encourage you to visit our history blog, where based on the Institute's collections we present interesting stories, characters and events from the history of Poland. The articles tell the stories of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, gen. Ander's army, and also interesting characters from Polonia in the USA, including capitan William Gawronski and his Antarctic expedition.

This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Third Silesian Uprising. On the occasion, we would like to remind our members and supporters that the Institute has been keeping the personal records of the Silesian Insurgents for almost eighty years. Our collection no. 8 contains 12 running meters of files (839 archival units).
