The
European Solidarity Centre
is a cultural institute, archive and museum devoted to the preservation of the heritage of the Polish Solidarity movement, the history of the Gda?sk Shipyard, activism and human rights within the context of Solidarity and within a wider European context. The Centre's permanent exhibition deals with the history of resistance against oppression in the communist era in Poland and the Solidarity movement.
The European Solidarity Centre began collaborating with
Wikimedia Polska
in July 2015 and is working towards releasing images of Solidarity photographers and current Centre documentation (recordongs of talks, videos and other material) on BY-SA licenses. The Museum staff are currently selecting the first batch of images for upload.
Initially the European Solidarity Centre aims to share a set of photographs depicting the strikes of 1980, and videos recorded by ESC staff. The files will be released on open licenses.
