    Historique

    As one of the largest ethnic groups on the Canadian prairies, Ukrainians have had a significant impact on the region’s social, cultural and economic development. In recognition of this legacy, in 1972 a group of eleven prominent professional and business members of the Ukrainian community in Edmonton, lead by Hryhory and Stefania Yopyk, dedicated themselves to the establishment of a facility for the preservation of the history and culture of Canadians of Ukrainian heritage. Through the efforts of these visionaries, the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta (UCAMA) was created. For three decades, UCAMA has welcomed visitors from Edmonton and beyond to share in these achievements by exploring its colourful exhibits of historical artifacts, archival documents and photographs, and extensive library.

    The Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta’s mission is to enrich appreciation of the Alberta experience by collecting, preserving, displaying, and promoting the region’s Ukrainian heritage in a creative and engaging museum environment:
    by developing and maintaining a collection of artifacts, archival materials, and books that focuses on the Ukrainian experience in Edmonton within the broader context of the city, Alberta, Canada, Ukraine, and the world; and
    by providing a public service, educational opportunities, and cultural resources to the local community and visitors to Edmonton through exhibits, school programs, special events, and research facilities.

    The objectives of the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta for future growth are:
    To house the collections in a building suitable for their exhibit and storage;
    To implement a conservation program;
    To develop interpretive exhibits, including permanent, temporary, and traveling;
    To focus on the urban Ukrainian experience in Alberta, Edmonton most specifically, as well as the overall theme of a story line;
    To work in cooperation with other organizations to pursue future goals;
    To give all visitors the opportunity to appreciate the Ukrainian heritage;
    To expand the collections in accordance with acquisition policies; and
