Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, Cultural center and museum in central Winnipeg, Canada
The Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre in Winnipeg is a museum, archive, art gallery, and library combined, dedicated to preserving Ukrainian heritage in Canada. The building contains manuscripts, photographs, music scores, and documents related to Ukrainian immigration history and its impact on the country.
The center opened in 1944 when Ukrainian-Canadian leaders came together to protect their cultural heritage. The institution grew from a desire to document the history and achievements of the Ukrainian community for future generations.
The center houses works by Ukrainian artists and musicians who shaped Canadian society. These collections show how Ukrainian communities kept their traditions alive in North America.
The center is open Monday through Saturday, with staff who assist visitors in using the archives and collections. It is best to contact ahead if you want to research specific materials.
The center preserves the collections of Ivan Bobersky and Olexander Koshetz, rare documents about Ukrainian diaspora history from 1920 to 1980. These archives reveal personal stories and experiences of people who built Ukrainian communities in the West.
