                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>RELIGIOUS FIGURES CARVED BY MINERS IN 900-YEAR OLD POLISH SALT MINE
Devoutly religious and with an inborn flair for sculpture these figures
portraying Christ changing water into wine at the vvedding feast were carved
in salt by ordinary laborers in the 900- year old Wieliczka salt mines, near
Cracow, Poland's ancient capital. They constitute one of many groups in
the ornately carved chapel of St. Kinga, who is reputed to have miraculously
discovered the mine more than 900 years ago while on her way to be crowned
queen of Poland. Throughout the centuries these miners have carved devotional
images in the vast maze of subterranean passages and chambers but many
of them have been partly erased by the erosion of salt due to the dampness

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” Collection is an assortment of photographs created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland sent to the United States’ “Polonia,” or, areas or countries with a significant community of Poles outside of Poland. These photographs, most likely sent out in series, date from the 1960s to the early 1970s.  The University at Buffalo’s collection is made up of 32 folders containing 461 photographs that pertain to an assortment of topics highlighting Poland’s cultural, historical, technological and industrial advances, especially during the period of communist rule. The University at Buffalo Libraries have digitized these photographs and have attempted to maintain the original order of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection of propaganda photographs portrays selections of Polish culture, meant to show the country in the most advantageous fashion. Series in the collection include photographs of famous professors, actors, and musicians. There are also series featuring important industrial, historical and educational institutions, including bustling, modern cities and relaxing vacation destinations, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This collection was created by the &lt;em&gt;Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia,”&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Society for Foreign Liaison with Poles, “Polonia.”&lt;/em&gt; This group wanted to establish a relationship between Polish people at home and abroad. The Towarzystwo Łączności z Polonią Zagraniczną "Polonia” and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in communist Poland aimed to give a broad and positive overview of life in Poland for those who emigrated and those with Polish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs themselves were taken by the &lt;em&gt;Centralna Agencja Fotograficzna&lt;/em&gt; which translates to the &lt;em&gt;Central Photographic Agency&lt;/em&gt;. This agency operated from 1951 to 1991 and released millions of photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have noted that during this time in Poland, there was a “propaganda of success.” This meant “[m]edia reporting bloated domestic economic results and political accomplishments and glowingly described the party leader’s close contacts with foreign heads of state. Never had Poland’s stature in the international community been so great, propaganda repeated” (Taras, 1984, p. 145). This tone of flawless accomplishment appears to have bled into this collection. Many of the photograph descriptions boast Poland’s accomplishments while ignoring serious economic, cultural and societal problems.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The Album pamiatkowe i przewodnik handlowy : osady polskiej w miescie Buffalo, z dolaczeniem okolicznych miejscowósci ze stanu New York is an important historical and genealogical resource for Buffalo and Western New York. The title, which translates to: “Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York.”, was first published in Buffalo in 1906 and is now available online. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This book is not only important to those of Polish ancestry, but to those interested in the history of Buffalo and Buffalo’s Polonia district. The photographs in the collection include important local landmarks from the turn of the century, local businesspeople, members of the clergy, and businesses mainly located on the East Side of Buffalo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire book has been digitized and is located in the &lt;a href="https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/21537"&gt;UB Institutional Repository&lt;/a&gt;. Images of the book have been individually scanned and placed in a digital collection for improved access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few months, we plan to have all of the almost 400 images from the Album pamiatkowe available online for those interested in the history and culture of Buffalo, New York.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
