Friends of the Ukrainian Folklore Centre | Archives Residency Project 2026–27

The Friends of the Ukrainian Folklore Centre are pleased to offer support for an Archives Residency Project (hereinafter, the Project) at the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives (BMUFA) at the Kule Folklore Centre. The Project is designed to foster, promote, and support archival research on Ukrainian and/or Ukrainian Canadian culture by scholars, authors, or artists using the collections housed by the Medwidsky Archives at the Kule Folklore Centre.

The archival holdings of the BMUFA are particularly strong in the areas of Ukrainian Canadian informal and traditional culture and folklore, including dance, music, and art, as well as community life, education, religious life, and the history of Ukrainians in Canada and other diaspora communities. These resources are valuable to researchers across a variety of fields.

The Project will be funded with an amount up to CAD $ 5,000. This support is intended to help cover living, travel, or research expenses incurred through in-person access to the BMUFA for the purpose of research. No more than one Project can be awarded per year.
