Overview
- Summary
- The Polish Declarations of Admiration and Friendship for the United States are a collection of 111 volumes of signatures and greetings presented in 1926 to President Calvin Coolidge to commemorate the 150th anniversary of U.S. independence and to acknowledge American participation and aid to Poland during World War I. Essentially a census of school-age children in 1926 Poland, volumes 7-110 of the Polish Declarations constitute a rich genealogical resource ... as the many Jewish, Ukrainian, Belarussian, Lithuanian, Russian, and German names on the signature sheets testify.

The volumes were compiled under the auspices of the American-Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Poland and the Polish-American Society.
In December 2015, the Polish Library in Washington partnered with the Library of Congress to digitize Volumes 14 to 111. Samuel Ponczak and Grazyna Zebrowska managed the Polish Library's side of the project and were the principal liaisons to Library of Congress staff. The Polish Library in Washington and its supporters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ) of the Republic of Poland provided essential financial support for digitization.
