Printed constitutions and by-laws, dance programs, and decorated stationery collected by Wanda Kwasniewski and pertaining to the Dabrowka Society, founded as Group 265 by Mrs. Kwasniewski in 1911. The Milwaukee-based Dabrowka Society was affiliated with the Polish Women's Alliance of America (Zwiazek Polek w Ameryce). Included are constitutions, 1912 and 1920; dance programs, 1911 and 1912; two blanks for designating delegates to conventions; and several sheets of decorated stationery with printed poetry, one of which has foil embossing, and a decorated Christmas post card. The stationery may have been created for members of the Polish Women's Alliance, as some sheets bear the Alliance's handshake logo.

Other, purely personal records of Wanda Kwasniewski's membership and activities with the Dabrowka Society are located in the papers of her son, Roman B. J. Kwasniewski.
