About the exhibit
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 and the 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.
