The Library & Archives of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University are home to the largest and most comprehensive collection on twentieth-century Poland in the United States. The holdings, both published and unpublished, are limited by the institution’s research scope, which is broadly focused on the political history of the world since World War I. The article includes an outline of the history of the institution and its Polish library and archival collections and mentions the principal contributions of several of its builders. Three special factors favoring the growth of Polish collections will receive attention: Herbert Hoover’s Polish sympathies and friendship with Ignacy Paderewski, the role of Jan Karski’s mission to Europe on behalf of the Hoover Institution in 1946, and the collecting opportunities created by the Solidarity revolution and the collapse of the Soviet bloc. The presentation will also note some of the most significant Polish archival holdings, both émigré and those created in the Polish People’s Republic by communist political functionaries and journalists, acquired by Hoover after 1989.

Biblioteka i Archiwum Instytutu Hoovera na Uniwersytecie Stanford to największa i najobszerniejsza kolekcja źródeł do historii Polski XX w. w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Zasoby, zarówno opublikowane, jak i niepublikowane, są ograniczone zakresem badań instytucji, która w dużej mierze koncentruje się na historii politycznej świata od czasów I wojny światowej. Artykuł zawiera zarys dziejów instytucji i jej polskiej biblioteki oraz zbiorów archiwalnych, jak również wymienia główny wkład kilku ich budowniczych. Trzy szczególne czynniki sprzyjające rozwojowi polskich kolekcji zasługują na uwagę: polskie sympatie i przyjaźń Herberta Hoovera z Ignacym Paderewskim, rola misji Jana Karskiego w Europie w imieniu Instytutu Hoovera w 1946 r. oraz możliwości gromadzenia poloników, jakie powstały dzięki rewolucji solidarnościowej i upadkowi bloku radzieckiego. W artykule zostały przedstawione niektóre z najważniejszych polskich zasobów archiwalnych zarówno emigracyjnych, jak i tych powstałych w Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej – materiały funkcjonariuszy komunistycznych i dziennikarzy, które zostały nabyte przez Hoovera po 1989 r.

The Hoover Institution Library and Archives at Stanford University has become an international hub for research and documentation. With more than a million volumes and 6,000 archival collections on war, revolution, and peace, it serves as one of the biggest knowledge repository worldwide. The holdings contain the most extensive and comprehensive documentation related to modern Polish history outside of Poland. Among them are rich and unique collections of primary diplomatic, philanthropic, memoiristic, visual, and other sources. The article outlines the most valuable sources and their collections on the trajectories of Polish Jewish refugees during World II. The very brief presentation of the up-to-date unexplored sources indicates that the growing research on Polish and Polish Jewish war refugees still has the potential to be expanded.

Archives have a rather dull reputation. Boxes of dusty papers guarded by rigid access rules are unappealing to many people. However, there are exceptions to that preconception, notably the Hoover Institution Library and Archives. Hoover Archives has been a place of serendipity for me personally since 2009 when I was a graduate student. What began as a class project became a master's thesis and launched a career as an independent historian. An astonishing collection of virtually unknown records combined with a wonderful array of people led the way to many adventures and publications. This is the story of how books and public histories are born - one person and one discovery at a time.
