• The Institute plans to stay in New York, and to broaden and continue its activities, both in the United States and in Poland. To achieve this goal we pursue talks with a number of institutions in both countries. The talks include, among others, the efforts to expand the access to our collections to a wide range of readers worldwide.

• We are optimistic about the future of the Institute; we prefer an active continuation, expansion and broadening of its goals rather than closing the Institute and destroying its 65 years of achievements.

The Institute plans a significant expansion of its cooperation with institutions in Poland; the first step of this cooperation is a joint project (with The Head Office of the State Archives) to consolidate the scattered collections in the US and in Poland.

We will keep you posted on further new initiatives, projects and developments; we invite you to an active participation in the Institute activities.

We would like to take this opportunity to express out sincere gratitude to all of you, who support us in our efforts.
