Familysearch now has 2.34 billion indexed records available, of course for free! About a million records are added to family search every month. All free, because it is all volunteers, wanting to make records accessible. This is a 3 minute video explaining how a project took place between a historical society and familysearch. The lady in the video also gives some good info on how familysearch wiki can help you in your research. This is how I believe we will start getting access to records in Poland. A few projects are already underway. This is how some of the Chicago records are already on familysearch (marriage and birth records). The more historical societies and churches that work with familysearch, the more accessible the records become. The more volunteers indexing and digitizing, the more quickly and accessible the records will become available to everyone.
Here are two pages specifically about Polish research on familysearch and wiki pages:
https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Poland_Civil_Registration-_Vital_Records
https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Poland (also in my favorite links in the right column)
There are 2,341,753 records in this collection. The last upload for this collection was 20 Sept 2011, with 1,002,155.
