Visitors will be immersed in the resilience\, legacy\, and diversity of our community’s lived experiences. \nExhibition Preview | 2:30–4:00 PM\nThink!Chinatown Studios | 1 Pike Street\, NYC\nReception | 4:00–6:00 PM\nDCTV | 87 Lafayette Street\, NYC \nExhibition: September 7 to 28\, 2025 \nFind more information about the exhibit at https://givebutter.com/VBP_OurJourneys.

The “Ukrainians in New Jersey” project by the Ukrainian History and Education Center’s archivist Michael Andrec and external researcher and writer Michael Buryk is an ongoing effort to help remedy this. It consists of an online resource that will eventually have a historical overview\, histories of communities and individual Ukrainian New Jerseyans\, and a collection of primary and secondary source materials that can be searched\, or browsed by date or geography. \nThis is free online talk\, but registration is required. \nMichael Buryk is a researcher of Ukrainian history and a well-known figure of Ukrainian descent in the United States. He is a writer\, podcaster and public speaker. He specializes in Ukrainian genealogy\, and produces his own original podcast‎‎ about Ukraine\, which is sponsored by The Ukrainian Weekly newspaper and is available on its web site. He is a resident contributor to Vilni Media\, which provides in Ukrainian and English up-to-date information\, news and analysis for local Ukrainian communities in the United States written by Ukrainian Americans. Mike retired in 2016 from a 40-year career in advertising and publishing. He holds a Master’s Degree (1975) in Russian/Soviet area studies from Hunter College\, the City University of New York. \nMichael Andrec has been the archivist at the Ukrainian History and Education Center since 2010\, where he has been responsible for preserving and making accessible hundreds of collections\, as well as exhibition curation\, digitization of audio and paper-based archives\, outreach\, and reference services. In 2022\, Michael and the UHEC received the Innovative Archives Award from the New Jersey Caucus of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference for his rapid shift from archival duties to education and advocacy after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
