                  <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;

&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;

                  <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
or the earth.</text>

                  <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 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>&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;

                  <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;

&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;

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;

potrzeb, liczba ta wzrośnie przynajmniej do 100 tysięcy.

                  <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;

W r. 1948 w Gdańsku został zwodowany pierwszy statek. I tak się zaczęło. Po nim z roku na rok zaczęło spływać coraz więcej rudowęglowców, drobnicowców, trampów i statków rybackich, aż do obecnych statków-baz i zbiornikówców po 19.000 DWT.

                <text>Let's start with the shipbuilding industry. We built it from scratch and with a flourish, built at the same time learning the difficult art. In r., 1948 in Gdansk was launched the first ship. And so it began. After that, every year more and more began to run down colliers, general cargo ships, tramps and fishing vessels, up to the present mother ships and tankers of 19,000 DWT after.

                  <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;

na stu kilkudziesięciu kilometrowym pasie wybrzeża. Jedyny konkretny efekt, to Gdynia i port gdyński. W r. 1939 nasza flota dysponowała zaledwie 38 statkami o nośności 120.000 DWT. Przemysłu stoczniowego nie było. A rybołówstwo? lstniało tylko przybrzeżne łowiąc w roku 1938 zaledwie 12.000 ton ryb.
Przyszliśmy nad Bałtyk w r. 1945, ale stanęliśmy już nad nim mocną nogą.

over a hundred kilometer long coastal belt. The only concrete result, the Gdynia and the port of Gdynia. In 1939 our fleet had only 38 ships with a capacity of 120,000 DWT. Shipbuilding was not. A fishing? lstniało just offshore while fishing in 1938, only 12,000 tons of fish. 
We came to the Baltic Sea in the year 1945, but already stood over him a strong leg.

                <text>Ziemie nadbałtyckie - Pomorze Zachodnie - już w X wieku wchodziły w skład państwa polskiego. Odpadły w XI w., ale w I połowie XII w. Bolesław Krzywousty odzyskał je ponownie. Dopiero po wymarciu dynastii książąt zachodnio-pomorskich, po roku 1637 zostały zagarnięte częściowo przez Szwecję (część zachodnia) i Brandenburgię (część wschodnia), a w r. 1815 całe Pomorze
Zachodnie przypadło Prusom. Podobne koleje przechodziło Pomorze Gdańskie, utracone całkowicie na rzecz Prus po II rozbiorze Polski. Pomorze Gdańskie powróciło do nas na mocy traktatu wersalskiego w r. 1919, ale bez Warmii i Gdańska (utworzono z niego tzw. wolne miasto),

                  <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;
