The Józef Piłsudski Institute of America (full name: Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for Research in the Modern History of Poland) was created in New York City in July 1943. It is an archive, museum and research center devoted to the study of modern Polish history and named after the Polish interwar statesman Józef Piłsudski. During its years as an émigré political outpost, the institute made efforts to publish trustworthy sources of recent Polish history. Examples of that activity are the English-language editions of Poland in the British Parliament, volumes 1-3 (edited by Wacław Jędrzejewicz) and memoirs of former Polish ambassador to Paris Juliusz Łukasiewicz and former Polish ambassador to Berlin Józef Lipski. Other English-language publications of scholars connected with the institute are those of Marian K. Dziewanowski, Janusz K. Zawodny, Stanisław Blejwas, Piotr Wandycz, Anna Cięciała and Tytus Komarnicki. At the same time, both Institutes (in London and New York) published the magazine Niepodległość (Independence), originally begun in 1930s Warsaw by the Institute of Research of Recent History of Poland. Published by the institute were books by Professor Wacław Jędrzejewicz: Kronika Życia Józefa Piłsudskiego (a biography of Józef Piłsudski) in two volumes and the four-volume Kalendarium Życia Józefa Piłsudskiego (Chronicle of the Life of Józef Piłsudski, co-authored with Janusz Cisek); Krzyż Niepodległości, wspomnienia ze służby w Legionach (a memoir of service in the Piłsudski Legions) by Józef Herzog; and Wspomnienia, a memoir by Juliusz Tarnowski.
