Polona: exploring Polish heritage on screen
Digital collections bring history beyond the reading room. How can you use them thoughtfully?
Polona is a digital library associated with Poland’s National Library. It provides access to digitized collections and materials made available by libraries.
When searching, try both the current and historical names of a place. Item descriptions can help establish authorship, dates and provenance.
Access to a scan does not automatically permit unrestricted reuse. Before republishing an item, check its rights statement and the conditions attached to that particular object.
