"Due to major repairs being made to our facility, many resources from the Burton Historical Collection are temporarily unavailable for staff or public use. We thank you for your patience and understanding".

"Until we can resume regular library service, please explore the online resources available from this page. They include our Digital Collections (accessible without a Detroit Public Library card) and a wide range of databases, including historical newspapers and Ancestry Library Edition (accessible with your DPL library card.)

Email inquiries will be answered as time and resources permit. Reference questions that require material that is currently inaccessible will need to be resubmitted when the collection reopens. Please check back here (Detroit Public Library site) for updates beginning in January 2022".

Email Issues to PGSM Members

We have recently become aware that not all members are receiving emails from PGSM. This is of great concern to us, especially since you may not have received the latest issues of our publication and newsletter. You might also not know that registration is open for the October seminar.

Please confirm you have received these last emails from PGSM:

The Polish Eaglet was emailed to those members who receive electronic copies on August 15.
The News from the Nest was sent electronically on September 8.
Emails stating that registration for the October seminar is open were sent September 8 and 14.
I sent an email asking you to confirm that you are receiving emails from PGSM on September 16.

Please send an email to vice-president@pgsm.org and let us know whether you are getting (or not getting) emails from PGSM. If you have not been getting all the publications, please indicate what publications you have not received, and we will send them to you as soon as possible. Due to the uncertainty of how many people may be affected, we are extending the date for registering for the seminar to October 13, 2021.

We apologize for any inconvenience and can assure you that we are trying to identify the problem so it can be corrected. In the meantime, we are working on alternative methods of reaching you, such as this letter and sending emails from gmail.com instead of pgsm.org.
