The Oskar Halecki Institute in Canada

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the activity of the Oskar Halecki Institute in Canada, founded in 2014, which continues the work of the Polish Scientific Institute in Canada established in 1942. The past activities of Polish scientific circles in Ottawa since the 1960s, and the reasons for the establishment of the OHI are presented as a historical background. The purpose of the Institute is to promote knowledge about Poland, to foster the development of the national identity of the Polish community, and to share Polish historical thought and the richness of Polish culture through the organisation of meetings and lectures as well as events that activate the Polish community in Ottawa, also in collaboration with other organisations gathering people of Polish and other European descents. The Institute’s scientific activity also includes research into the history and culture of Canadians with Polish roots.
