Abstract
The article examines the history of the library and information resources of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. The problem of creation and replenishment of book collections in conditions of emigration is analyzed. For the early period of the formation of Ukrainian diaspora in Canada was closely linked to the Ukrainian immigrants’ spiritual values, the initial stage of libraries and archives establishment, mostly created on the basis of churches or religious organizations, was studied. The first public associations of Ukrainians laid the foundation for the future Church, which became the center for the preservation of native values, spirituality, and patriotism. They were the centres where the first church libraries arose, and church leaders were the first book collectors. Among the church libraries which are profound for Ukrainian studies, the following are mentioned in the study: The Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Archbishop’s Library (Winnipeg), Basilian Fathers’ Library, Mundare (Alberta), Redemptorists Fathers’ Library (Yorkton), Library of the Consistory of Ukrainian Greek-Orthodox Church of Canada (Winnipeg), Library of the Ukrainian Institute of P. Mohyla (Sascatoon), St. Andrew’s College Library (Winnipeg), and others. This article explores both religious and scientific collections. In addition to these libraries, there are book collections at parishes and parish organizations, and less numerous church groups of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. The conclusion is made that the establishment of libraries as diaspora information centers is crucial in preserving Ukrainian identity. To preserve intellectual heritage and prevent physical loss of documents, libraries in modern times digitize their collections. This allows more people to become acquainted with the heritage of Ukrainian culture and science. This contributes to spreading knowledge about Ukrainian emigration and its accomplishments, strengthening cultural ties between the diaspora and Ukraine, and creating a positive image of Ukraine around the world.
