This collection is in the making.

Currently, only selected movies from selected family or personal collections are digitized and published on this page. Eventually, each family/personal movie collection will be accompanied by a bibliographic note, metadata, photos, and a recording(s) of an oral history interview(s). As a teaser, short fragments of three oral history interviews are published. These are excerpts from interviews with Marta Altawil, Mary Anselmo, and Jerzy "George" Skwarek.

You can contribute to the project by making a dontion to cover the costs of digitizing historical films of Chicago's Polish community. To do so, please visit the "donate" tab.

Check back soon for more films and information!
