Composed of materials from the Warsaw Main Public Library, the collection, which includes newspapers, memoirs, photographs and drawings, illustrates how the U.S. was perceived by Poles in the years 1764-1919.
Special attention is given to key topics such as: the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, Polish immigrants after the November uprising, Poles participation in the Civil War, American relief efforts for Poland during World War I and the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries.
As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of U.S. - Polish diplomatic relations this year, U.S. in Polish Historiography and Periodicals from 1764-1919 is a fascinating and compelling reminder that the relationship between the Polish and American people extends much further back in time than the formal relationship between the two countries.
