Scraps of History – read and listen
About the project
The Archive Full of Remembrance
History is not only grand events – history is also the experiences of every person and every family. Without getting to know them, the picture of our past is incomplete. We would like to encourage you to unearth your family collections of documents and objects revealing forgotten or unknown family histories that are also significant for Poland and Polish people. We will share them with journalists, researchers, and above all, young people. In this way we ensure that they will not be forgotten. Let’s give them a chance to live longer!
Key:
- Collected scraps of history
- Institutes we cooperate with
- Areas of cooperation
Join 2319 donors of archival materials from all over the world. We share their histories with journalists, researchers, and above all, young people.
