New Digital Library
Posted by: Barbara Bibel
The National Library of Poland is now online with many digitized special collections. Go to http://www.polona.pl/dlibra/collectiondescription2?dirids=12 to find the library’s treasures including manuscripts such as Ptolmey’s Cosmographia, the Chopin collection which will eventually include digital versions of all of his manuscripts, the history of Warsaw, archives and periodicals covering World War II in Poland, and a Yiddish literature collection. There are also collections of children’s literature, underground publications from World War II, and serials from the 19th and early 20th century. Historians, musicians, and scholars in Slavic and Jewish studies will find a wealth of material here.
