This is a collection of folklore materials and family archives from Roman Onufrijchuk, a key leader in the 1970s and 1980s "Cultural Immersion Camps" organized by CYMK, which involved many future leaders of the Ukrainian community across Canada.

The Onufrijchuk fonds includes family photographs, correspondence, souvenirs, publications and a large collection of embroideries.
