The Emigration biography of Stanislaw Lis-Kozlowski in selected texts by representatives of the Polish Community in Argentina

The aim of this article is to present the life and achievements of Stanislaw Lis-Kozlowski in exile, with particular emphasis on his contribution to Polish culture. The analysis is based on source texts, Argentinean polonica, prose memoirs of emigrants in Argentina, Polish emigrant journals, as well as other publications related to the life and activity of Lis-Kozlowski. An important source of information for this biography was the Argentine collection of the Library of the Poznan Society of the Friends of Science (in Polish: PTPN), the archival collection held in the Ignacy Domeyko Polish Library in Buenos Aires (Biblioteca Polaca Ignacio Domeyko) and the archives of the Franciscan Monastery in Martin Coronado in Argentina. The study required the use of appropriate research methods, such as biographical interpretive method and narrative analysis.
