| Dr. Thaddeus V. Gromada, President and Executive Director, of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America (PIASA) announced the launching of its completely redesigned and updated website effective March 29, 2011. The website was redesigned by Marcin Witruszynski, founder and proprietor of CinDesign of Ellington, CT. Witruszynski , a Polish born web designer, expressed great satisfaction that he was given the opportunity to work on a project that will help Americans and others to get better acquainted with a respected academic institution founded in 1942. Zbigniew Brzezinski , a member of PIASA’s council, called it a “vital link between Poland and America” and Pope John Paul II wrote in 1982 that “The Institute has gained full rights of citizenship in the field of learning and culture in the United States as well as in the world”.
The new website will provide the latest news and announcements related to PIASA’s activities e.g. information about the 69th Annual Meeting scheduled for June 10-11, 2011 in Arlington, VA and valuable information about its resources, e.g. publications (“The Polish Review” published since 1956; PIASA BOOKS), Programs, Exhibits, Library and particularly its Archives. The website will give access to the PIASA’s Archival Data Bases, and Poland’s SEZAM data base. A new added feature will make it possible to make secure on line payments for books, subscriptions, membership dues, donations, etc. using PayPal. |
