Abstract

I present five collections housed in the American Geographical Society Library and the Archives of the Golda Meir Library at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee: archival materials pertaining to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, early maps of Poland (1508-1772), photographs taken by Louise Arner Boyd in Kresy (Borderlands) in 1934, photographs by Harrison Forman from Warsaw in 1939, and photographs by Roman Kwaśniewski, documenting the life of Milwaukee Polonia between 1911 and 1947. This study documents the role of the American Geographical Society Library in preservation and propagation of historical and geographical documents, particularly those from Poland. It also identifies the early maps of Poland and points out their significance in the history of European cartography.
