Provenance

The collection was donated to the Library by the Polish Historical Institute in Australia in a number of instalments between 1997 and 2001. The records were collected as part of the Preserving the Polish Saga in Australia Project in which the Institute contacted various Polish organisations and individuals in Australia asking them to donate records which would fall into the following categories:

  1. Administrative records of the creators
  2. Records of legal value
  3. Records of financial accountability
  4. Records of historical interest for public relations and general interest purposes

Scope and Content Note

The collection comprises records of Polish organisations and papers of Polish immigrants, including correspondence, minutes of meetings, newsletters, photographs, drafts and scrapbooks.

Organisation

The collection is primarily arranged alphabetically by provenance. Where parallel Polish and English names are given, the Polish is given first. The arrangement and description of the collection is based closely on guides provided by the Institute with each instalment.


Administrative History

The Polish Historical Institute in Australia was established in Canberra in 1996, on the initiative of Andrew Kleeberg. Its aims were to locate, collect, catalogue and preserve in the National Library historical records comprising (i) papers of Polish immigrants and Australians of Polish descent (ii) records of Polish organisations in Australia. It also planned to carry out oral history interviews with selected Polish immigrants.

Andrew Kleeberg has been the Director of the Institute since its inception. In 1996 it received an ACT Heritage Grant and it immediately began assembling records. They were catalogued by Polish-speaking staff from the National Library, working in an honorary capacity. The first collections were transferred to the Library in 1997.

On 22 November 2000 a Deed of Gift was signed by the Library and the Institute whereby ownership of the collections acquired by the Institute passed to the Library.
