The aim of the project is to conduct archival research and popularize (both among a wide audience and within the international research community) the Polish national photographic heritage illustrating: 1) the war destruction that Poland suffered during World War II; 2) the realities and functioning of the Polish community confronting the process of reconstruction and coming to terms with the past during the Cold War (with particular emphasis on the years 1945-1969).
