This year, for the first time in our history, the Pilsudski Institute of America was participating in "GivingTuesday". We would like to thank institutions and individuals for their generous donations to the Institute
On September 27 2015 the Pilsudski Institute was privileged to host the visit of the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda. The purpose of the visit was to meet members of the Institute’s Board of Directors and to see our collections. The President was shown the paintings and a selection of the most important documents from our archives. Dr Iwona Korga, the managing director, served as a guide, presenting a condensed history of our organization. Dr Magda Kapuścińska, the Institute’s president, welcomed the distinguished guest on behalf of the Board of Directors and introduced other members. Volunteers and friends of the Institute took part in the meeting. Mr. Duda was accompanied by several staff members of his Office, and by ministers Adam Kwiatkowski, Krzysztof Szczerski and Pawel Soloch. Dr Kapuścińska offered him a plaque with the image of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, while the Institute received a painting of the Belvedere, the presidential palace in Warsaw. We feel greatly honored by this visit. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thanks to the cooperation with the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin we present, in digital form, the Pilsudski Institute Bulletins and Reports, beginning with the first issue published in 1943. The Bulletins and Reports were published since its inception in 1943; they reflect the events, daily operations, donations, publications and growing collections of the Institute. Most have an English language section or summary and in some cases a separate English version was published
The issues already digitized can be downloaded from our webpage. Bulletins from year 1943 to 1978, partly from 1980 to 1988 and all from year 2006 to 2014 are available online. Additional volumes will be added successively.
