Kuryer Publishing Company Records, 1893-1961
Creator: Kuryer Publishing Company (Milwaukee, Wis.) Quantity: 9 cubic ft. (19 boxes)
Call Number: UWM Manuscript Collection 46
Abstract: Collection includes records of the Kuryer Publishing Company
that printed the Polish language daily newspaper, Kuryer
Polski, and managed the Kuryer Agency. Although the collection consists of only
partial records of the Kuryer Publishing Company, the material is especially valuable for
both documenting the demise of the ethnic press and for a study of inter-war immigration
policies. In addition, the collection possesses valuable genealogical material. The Kuryer
Agency's records are primarily correspondence in Polish and English relating to the Agency's
efforts in assisting its clients in citizenship matters, transmitting funds to Poland,
investing in Polish bonds, purchasing steamship tickets to and from Poland, and obtaining
immigration visas for relatives in Poland. The Kuryer Publishing Company's records are
primarily correspondence and business records concerning the daily operations of the Kuryer Polski. Extensive correspondence with various Polish
organizations document the Kuryer's importance in Polish American communities throughout
North America. Letters from readers with various requests for information and assistance
chronicle the Kuryer's prominence in America's Polonia.
