    History

    Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore is a research institution within the Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta. It is permanently endowed through the generous gifts of Peter and Doris Kule, the Wasyl and Anna Kuryliw family, Erast Huculak, Bohdan Medwidsky and many other visionary community leaders. It was formalized in 2001 and received its current name in 2006, though it is based upon endowments and archives existing since the 1980s.

    The centre’s five strategic priorities are to:
    » Conduct ground-breaking research in Ukrainian and Canadian folklore studies
    » Maintain and grow the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives
    » Support undergraduate and graduate courses in Ukrainian folklore and vernacular culture
    » Support researchers and students with scholarships and awards
    » Engage with diverse communities through publications, exhibits, lectures, workshops and more.
