John Luczkiw Collection:  Publications by Ukrainian "Displaced persons" and Political Refugees, 1945-1954.

SEEMP has microfilmed this collection from the University of Toronto Library.   This is a comprehensive collection of books, periodicals, and pamphlets produced and published by Ukrainian refugees in the Displaced Persons (D.P.) Camps in Austria and Germany during the post-World War II period.  The collection was assembled by the late John Luczkiw, a prominent University of Toronto alumnus and a former World War II refugee.  In its entirety, the collection is a record of life and times of an emigrant community struggling to maintain its cultural heritage under very difficult conditions.  SEEMP has filmed the monographic portion of the collection, over 80,000 pages of material.
