The Film Archive Foundation "Roads to Solidarity" was founded in 2004 by Video Studio Gdansk (VSG) - the oldest independent film producer in Poland, operating since 1981. Its primary goal was to organise and preserve (digitize) an extensive collection of VSG, including several thousands of recordings and films. The far-reaching goal of the Foundation is to preserve the memory of cultural heritage and social changes. This is achieved through common dissemination of the video materials (many of them are available online, on the Foundation's website). Foundation shares the materials through film screenings, exhibitions, debates, educational projects, publications, meetings with the creators and activists, etc. 

Besides the members of Video Studio Gdansk, the Film Archive Foundation was initiated i.e. by Bogdan Borusewicz, an activist of the democratic opposition and a leader of the underground "Solidarity" in the 1980s. Foundation is also supported by Lech Walesa and other important public figures: Mayor of Gdansk, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodship, Chairman of the "Solidarity" Trade Union, Arhcbishop of Gdansk Metropolis, President of the Institute of National Remembrance.

Since the beginning, Jacek Borzych has been serving as a Chairman of the Managing Board.
