Appendices I
Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.

Synagogues in Drohobych

This historical region, known as Eastern Galicia since the end of the 18th century and Czerwona Rus previously, is situated in the middle of Eastern (or East Central) Europe. This region, part of the proto-Russian (or proto- Ukrainian, depending on political viewpoint) State of Kiev Rus and after that of the Galician-Volynian Duchy, was incorporated into the Polish Kingdom in the early stages of its development, the mid-14th century. After almost five centuries of being part of Poland, Czerwona Rus was annexed at the end of the 18th century by the Austrian Empire where it formed the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. After the collapse of the Hapsburg State in 1918 and the short period of an independent Western Ukrainian Republic in 1919, the region was incorporated into the revived Polish State. With the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Eastern Galicia was annexed by the Soviet Union and incorporated into the Soviet Ukrainian Republic. In 1991, as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ukraine became an independent state.
