The collection consists of fieldwork materials collected by Natalie Kononeko during her trips to numerous villages in Central Ukraine in 2001-2005. Interviews cover a wide range of folklore topics including ritual and belief, births, weddings, funerals, songs and stories, and more.

The collection consists of photographs of Ukraine and its people taken by Myeong Lee in 2006 in Ukraine. The images depict calendar customs, rituals, and everyday life of Ukrainians.

Writing from the War project collection consists of testimonials of Ukrainians about their experiences of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Writing from the War is a volunteer project aimed at collecting, preserving, and disseminating such testimonials. Documenting testimonials (texts, videos, and photographs) will provide the world audience with a panoramic, firsthand picture of the Ukrainian tragedy and allow those affected by it to be heard. This collection is an important research source for historians, culturologists, philosophers, political scientists, and students, as well as a source of inspiration for artists throughout the world.

These firsthand testimonials were transmitted to the project team from various hiding places; from shelters, train stations, and refugee camps; from besieged cities. There are testimonials by soldiers, volunteers, doctors, drivers, teachers, animal rights activists, cooks, artists, and scientists – people of all professions; by adults and children, displaced persons, rescuers and the rescued – in short, anyone interested in sharing their experience with the world. This is a panoramic picture of the wartime “everyday,” reflecting private experiences during this catastrophe. All the testimonials were provided to the project team by the witnesses themselves, and every story has a title, and a record of the person behind it.
