Learn skills to start their journey on finding out about one's Polish heritage focusing on the period of time post-WWII
This event is presented entirely in English.
The Polish Museum and Archives in Australia (PMAA) was established in 1991 as an initiative of a number of people who saw the importance of collecting and preserving historical materials that reflected the individual and community life of Polish immigrants living in Australia. The organisation was incorporated in 1992. Over the years, PMAA has run several exhibitions, heritage workshops as well as publishing books and book launches.
The aim of this presentation is to equip people with skills to start their journey on finding out about one's Polish heritage focusing on the period of time post World War Two.
