Millennium Collection of Old Ukrainian Books

The Millenium Collection contains twenty-one liturgical and scriptural books printed in what is now Ukraine in the 17th and 18th centuries.  The books are from the estate of the late Paul M. Fekula of New York, and were purchased in 1984 by the Chair of Ukrainian Studies Foundation with funds donated by members of the Ukrainian community and friends of the Library.  The collection is named in recognition of one thousand years of Christianity in Rus’-Ukraine.  An annotated and illustrated catalogue by Edward Kasinec and Bohdan Struminskyj provides a detailed description of the books.
