The Sikorski Collection
This section of the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum is concerned purely with General Sikorski and falls essentially into three categories.
First there are his personal belongings - his ceremonial sword, his cap and uniform retrieved from the wreck of the Liberator in which he met his death.
Secondly, there is a collection, containing books, albums, pamphlets and volumes of press cuttings relating to his life and activities.
Thirdly, there is his wartime diary maintained by his aides-de-camps, which subsequently served as the basis for a complete chronicle of events pertaining to the General's activities as Prime Minister and Commander in Chief.
This chronicle was compiled by the Institute's archivists. This section also comprises General Sikorski's personal papers and official records and documents kept by the Secretariat of the Prime Minister.
