A New Ukrainian Memories Archive

An interesting new Ukrainian online platform on oral history and memory has been launched recently, available at https://memory.org.ua/.

The project aims at collecting personal stories of Ukrainians in various historical contexts, like Second World War, deportations, repressions, the Holodomor, emigration etc.



You can search the stories by chronology, or by key words.  You can also upload your or a relative's memories on the website.

The website and the search is in Ukrainian only, but can be used with a translating tool.

For now the archive does not have a large collection, but if the project succeeds, it could become a useful tool for Ukrainian family research.
