Correspondence with individuals and organizations, biographical materials, writings by various authors, and printed materials.

Correspondence, documents and manuscript of Father Dmytro Myhockyj. There are letters from the Vatican, the Pontificio Seminario di S. Giosafat and the Ukrainian Catholic Diocese of Stamford, Conn. concerning Myhockyj's career as a priest, the Church's missionary activities and mass in the vernacular. Other letters are from relatives in the Ukraine and describe their daily life in the 1960s. There is a document written in German and dated 1907 from the Western Ukrainian town of Brzezany, which excuses Myhocky from military service on account of his religious obligations. A bound manuscript contains Mihockyj's notes to be used in Sunday church services.

A microfilm of approximently 200 official documents from the period 1928-1934, concerning the collectivization campaign and famine of the 1930s in the Ukraine. Among them are death registers, regional executive committee (Raivikonkom) protocols, and agricultural records. The originals of these materials are apparently in the collections of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in New York.

The collection consists primarily of Voice of America transcripts, dating from 1950-1963. (There are also six notebooks containing notes taken during interviews). The subject files include materials of "Asotsiïatsiï Ukraïnsḱykh Universytetsḱykh Z︠h︡inok na Emihratsiï." The printed materials consist of clippings with articles by Drazhevsḱa (1947-1963), brochures, periodicals and books. The later 1-box addition contains materials from 1960s and 1970s.

A collection of materials relating to protests in Ukraine during 2013 and 2014. The collection includes a doormat, newspapers, leaflets, postcards, booklets, one flag, banners, calendars, a CD, buttons and magnets. There are also 8 color posters (from 2011-2014) designed by Andriy Yermolenko.

Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, subject files and printed material of Mykhailo O. Vetukhiv (1903-1959), geneticist and founding president of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S. from 1949 until his death in 1959. The correspondence includes letters from such Ukrainian scholars and emigre community leaders as Dmytro Chyzhevs'kyi, George Shevelov, Andrii and Mykola Livyts'kyi, Ivan Kedryn-Rudnyts'kyi and M. Shlemkevych. The manuscripts are of Vetukhiv's published and unpublished articles and include a considerable amount of notes. The collection also contains manuscripts of, and notes for, speeches which Vetukhiv delivered, as well as invitations, announcements and clippings regarding these lectures. The documents are primarily personal; the photographs are chiefly of public events in Ukrainian communities both in Europe and the United States. Close to half of the collection consists of subject files, including extensive material on professional meetings Vetukhiv attended, on his scientific research and on the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S. for the period 1949-1959. Among the printed material are articles by Vetukhiv as well as clippings of articles about him and about issues affecting Ukrainians in the United States.
