The History Meeting House (DSH) is a cultural institution in Warsaw. Our main focus is on the history of Central and Eastern Europe, Poland and Warsaw, during the 20th century. We organize exhibitions, often based on unknown photos, debates, discussion cycles dealing with the history of Warsaw as well as presentations of feature and documentary films, educational workshops, seminars, and conferences. We are also involved in publishing and our bookshop contains a wide range of publications relating to the 20th century.

DSH promotes history through various sources and personal testimonies. Along with the KARTA Centre, it runs the Oral History archive: the largest collection in Poland that presents the records from direct witnesses, which have been amassed, compiled, and shared. We also digitize photographs, documents and films.
