WABIM 2025 – MKIDN - Archiving and digitisation of Collections A.VI; A.II; B. and films from the Archive of the Sikorski Museum

Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Program - Support for Polish Archives, Libraries, and Museums Abroad - 2025 Edition

Dear Friends, Fellow Researchers and Historians

In the fervour of work during this year's edition of the MKIDN WABIM programme, we have dedicated most of our time and energy to fulfilling the tasks outlined in the project, somewhat neglecting our duty to inform and promote what we do. It is also one of the tasks which rests on our shoulders.

With this post, making up for lost time, we would like to inform our followers that not long ago, specifically at the beginning of November this year, we completed work on digitising additional collections of documents housed in the main archive of the Sikorski Institute at 20 Princes Gate (London SW7).

More than 43,000 pages of documents from the collections A.VI, A.II, and B have undergone scanning and OCR processing. The documents will soon be available on the Institute's website.

Additionally, several dozen historical films (original, WWII footage!) from the Institute's film archive have been digitised. This fascinating and incredibly interesting material can be browsed on our YouTube channel. It's worth checking out!

Everything was made possible thanks to substantial funding from MKIDN and the professionalism of the Institute's staff.

Thank you!
