This article aims to show queries and research that were conducted in Sweden during the recent years and to present an idea of the national research program over Polonica, that was a result of these experiences. Authors propose creation of the program under the governmental auspices, organizationally and financially stable, with the aim of scientific restitution of cultural objects dispersed outside the country and preservation of important and often unique national cultural heritage. The project should be of interdisciplinary character, methodologically coherent, should also comprehensively cover the major collections of Polonica, moreover, the results of queries and research are to be presented in a way different from the current fragmentation. Condition for success of this program is the participation in its implementation, both researchers from Poland - archivists, librarians, Polish philology specialists, historians, neolatitists – and foreigners who specialize in Polish philology and are native to the area of action. The scope of work should include archival collections, their cataloging, digitization, and critical editions, which restore the most valuable works to scientific and cultural life. The remainder of this article deals with books on the Swedish Polonica that were written between 2006 and 2010. These were four catalogs of books and archives, five critical editions of the traditional Polish songs and one post-conference publication. All these books originated in the professor's subsidy of the Foundation for Polish Science, the research project "Humanism. Ideas, trends and research paradigms in Polish culture "- Series "Polonica". The items were also funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the University of Stockholm and the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
