Abstract:

Family photographs and genealogies, a few letters, newsclippings, and other items preserved by Mary Grochowska Kosmatka. Among those represented in the collection are members of the Kuszewski and Grochowski families in Milwaukee. There are many photographs of the relatives of Mary Kosmatka, as well as photos of herself as a young woman, and as a member of the Marya Konopnicka Dramatic Circle. The Dramatic Circle, which presented plays in Polish at St. Casimir's Church in Milwaukee, is represented by cast and banquet photos from the 1920's and 1930's. Also included is a family genealogy compiled by Kosmatka, her own autobiographical sketch, newsclippings of her experiences as a VISTA worker in Arizona, and a few family records.
