SUMMARY:Ukrainians in New Jersey: A Historical Overview
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the rich history of Ukrainians in New Jersey in this online presentation by Michael Andrec and Michael Buryk of the Ukrainian History and Education Center\, a multiple-time NJCH grantee. \nSurprisingly\, there has been a remarkable lack of secondary sources devoted specifically to the history of Ukrainian immigrants in New Jersey. 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.

Admission to the Museum and program are included with the purchase of a signed copy.  \nAbout The Author:\nJane Leavy is the author of New York Times bestsellers The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created\, The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood\, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy\, and the comic novel Squeeze Play\, which Entertainment Weekly called “the best novel ever written about baseball.” She was a staff writer at The Washington Post from 1979 to 1988\, first in the Sports section\, then writing for the Style section. She covered baseball\, tennis\, and the Olympics. She has written for The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Sports Illustrated\, and is anthologized in The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns and Driven to Write.\nSpace is limited\, please RSVP to reserve your spot.
