The embroidered serving tray represents a phase in Canadian embroidery history (not just Ukrainian). Beginning in approximately 1960s, artisans would either adapt an embroidered podushka to fit into a serving tray, or they would specifically embroider a decorate piece to fit into a frame. The frames themselves were often pre-made, store bought. Embroidered serving trays were often used for special events such as church teas, and were a popular wedding gift or shower gift in the Edmonton Ukrainian community during the early 1980s.
This file contains 52 photographs. These photographs include several group photographs from the Ukrainian Catholic Woman's League and the Brotherhood of St. Nicholas of Canada. Some photographs were taken at community events, Remembrance Day ceremonies, and a funeral (Knights of Columbus). Many of the photographs feature Orest and Emilia Zarsky.
