The article discusses selected digital collections that form a source of information on the life of Polish emigrants in the USA in the first half of the 20th century, focusing mainly on materials about the Polish diaspora living in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The digital resources of several American institutions are presented: Ellis Island Foundation, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Milwaukee Polonia Roman Kwasniewski Photographs), and National Archives. The text is an attempt to analyze the resources available on the Internet, documenting the history of the author's family members who emigrated from Galicia to the United States over a hundred years ago.References
