Fundusz im. Profesora J. Wilczynskiego

Professor Joseph Wilczynski (b. 1922) was born in Augustow, Poland. He served in the Polish Underground Army and in the Polish Army under British Command during World War II. He arrived in Australia in 1951.

He completed his Ph.D in London (1967-68) and a D.Sc. (1975) in Sydney. His formal qualifications were in Economics, Education and Science. He had a working knowledge of at least four languages as well as being conversant in Polish and English.

From 1962 until 1969 he was a lecturer in Economics at the Duntroon Military College and from 1970 as Associate Professor of Economics. He died in 1984.

He established a fund, ca. 1985, whose purpose was to support the Polish cause and Polish culture in Australia. This is managed by the Council of Polish Organisations in the ACT Inc. which nominates a specific purpose. Currently this is to publish the Polish language journal Kronika Polonii which is issued quarterly to the Polish community.

The Manager of the Fund is Mrs Wanda Domaschenz.
