Polish Chronicle

Polish Chronicle is mainly a Polish language publication which was first issued in 1985. In the first years it was published as quarterly, since 2008 biannually. The cost of printing and distribution is covered by grants from different sources: ACT Government, Blum Foundation, Prof. Wilczyński Fund, SPK Canberra Fund, Polish Consulate, as well as private donations and advertising. The Chronicle is distributed free of charge to registered community members. It is sent to 300 postal and more than 500 electronic private addresses, mainly in the ACT and Queanbeyan. Many former residents of Canberra receive Chronicle in their current place of residence in all other states of Australia. It is also delivered to major Polish organisations in other states and overseas, including Poland. The National Library in Warsaw, Jagiellonian University Library in Cracow, The Polish Library POSK (Polish Social and Cultural Association) in London and the National Library of Australia in Canberra also receive this publication.
The Chronicle provides information about activities of Polish organisations in the ACT and reports on important social, cultural and political events in Australia and in Poland. We promote Polish history, culture, traditions and language as well as multiculturalism in Australia. The Chronicle has always played an important role in maintaining links between the Polish community and its organisations, but most importantly, it has been a regular source of information about the Polish community in the ACT region for over 35 years.
Our Editorial Committee comprises of three volunteers, who are directly involved with production of each issue, with a larger group associated with Chronicle through regular contribution of articles. Work of the Editorial Committee involves: planning and looking after schedules, communication with authors of articles, editing and writing articles, collating written and photographic material, graphic design, desk top publishing, creating files for printing, creating electronic version. A number of people also help with the distribution of printedChronicle.
Members of the current Editorial Committee are: Aleksandra Płazińska (Editor in Chief), Wanda Kiljańska-Całka (Coordinator) and Mariusz Więcławiak (graphic design and desktop publishing).
