| description | The Polish Samizdat collection originates from the records collected by the RFE Polish Underground Publications Unit. It is the second largest collection of Polish Samizdat outside Poland, after the Hoover Institute’s holdings. This collection provides a unique opportunity for studies on the democratic opposition in Poland though it’s exhaustive documentation of underground publishing.
The Polish Samizdat collection presents the broad scope of activities of the Polish clandestine publishing market, covering underground serials from 1976 to 1990, including Monographs and Ephemera. The collection holds publications of such samizdat notables as NOWA (Independent Publishing House) and KRyG as well as numerous bulletins of Solidarity. In addition, you will find documents on political opposition and subject files, which contain 156 subjects, which cover and monitor dissidents' approach toward political, economic and social issues.
