U of T Ukrainian Chair HURI summer school concludes another session acquires new library TORONTO The Chair of Ukrai­ nian Studies at the University of To­ ronto has recently acquired the library of Omelan and Alexandra Tarnavskyj. Omelan Tarnavskyj has long been active in Ukrainian cultural life in Europe and Canada. He was director of Ukrainske Vydavnytstvo (Ukrainian Publishing House) in Cracow and Lviv (1942-1945), and has been editor of numerous Plast publications. It is not surprising that the Tarnavskyj library presented to the Ukrainian Chair in Toronto included numerous volumes from the World War II years and about the Plast movement. "With the acquisition of the Tarnav­ skyj library," said Chair of Ukrainian Studies Prof. Paul R. Magocsi, "the University of Toronto will have one of the richest collections of publications by and about the Plast movement. Besides several rare German works about U- krainian matters and invaluable studies from interwar Ukrainian Galicia, the Tarnavskyj library will also help to fill important gaps in Toronto's holdings of Ukrainian publications that appeared during the German occupation."
