The Silesian Freedom and Solidarity Centre in Katowice runs a community archive documenting the activities of the Solidarity opposition in the 1980s. The Centre also develops an oral archive by recording testimonies and memories of people who experienced the period of martial law. In addition, the ŚCWiS maintains a fine arts collection inspired by themes of freedom and resistance. Selected works are included in the main exhibition, helping to immerse visitors in the historical context of martial law in Poland.
