Part of our collection has already been digitalized and published online on our website. Recently, the Pilsudski Institute of America took on a project of digitizing 300 black and white photos of Marshal Pilsudski.
The black and white photos capture moments in time and convey stories from the past that cannot be forgotten. The old photos from the Pilsudski Institute Collection portray Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, one of the most influential persons in the history of Poland, the one who changed the future of the nation in 1918. It is easy to feel a sense of nostalgia while viewing them, as the photos tell a fascinating story of the fight for Poland’s independence.

The images include pictures from Pilsudski's youth, the Polish Legions’ fight for independence during WWI, and the political activity during the Second Polish Republic in the ‘20s and ‘30s.
We want to thank all who decided to support the project.
The Jozef Pilsudski's photos collection is available online.
