Poland (pre–World War II)

  • Overview

    • Overview

    Materials pertaining to Poland begin in the 1860s and are particularly rich for the decade 1910–20, which saw the political struggle for Polish independence before and during World War I, the cause of Poland at the Versailles Conference, and the war against Bolshevik Russia in 1920–21. The remaining years of the Second Republic are best documented in the Hoover Library’s rich Polish interwar holdings.

    Helena Paderewska Memoirs Discovered in the Hoover Archives

    Not long ago the Hoover Archives received the papers and memorabilia of the US musician and military intelligence officer Ernest Schelling. Found during initial sorting of the materials was a tattered manila envelope containing two unsigned typewritten copies of a text in English ending with “Riond Bosson, Morges, Switzerland, May 29, 1920.”
