Abstract:
Records, largely consisting of correspondence, of a Polish American group which promoted the celebration of Poland's Millennium of Christianity (966-1966). Some of the primary events that were documented in the collection are the convocation of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, and the establishment of Poland's Millennium Achievement Awards Program. The Millennium celebration was also used as a forum for protesting the political conditions facing the people of Poland. Many of the items in the collection denounce the activities of the communist government in Poland. Mrs. Leonne Wozinski, acting chairman of the committee, compiled the records.

The later records are primarily newspaper clippings about the Poland's Millennium Achievement Awards Program, which was discontinued in 1989. Many of the records in the collection are in Polish.

Language: English, Polish
