Archives of the Literary Institute in Paris (1946-2000) (Association Institut Littéraire 'Kultura')

Documentary heritage submitted by Poland and recommended for inclusion in the Memory of the World Register in 2009.

The Archives of the Literary Institute are the complete documentation of the Institute's activities in the years 1946-2000. They are a unique collection, which depicts the work of an unparalleled emigration institution, which, thanks to the intellectual and political vision implemented for decades by its founders and leaders, played an extremely vital role in one of the most important historical events of the 20th century - the peaceful victory over the communist dictatorship and the division of the world into two hostile political blocs.
