The Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research
About Us
The Jacyk Centre’s mandate is to carry out research and publishing in Ukrainian history. Its first project was to produce an English-language academic edition of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s ten-volume History of Ukraine-Rus', encompassing Ukrainian history up to the mid-seventeenth century. The centre also engages in researching and publishing on later periods of Ukrainian history, including producing monograph series in English and Ukrainian, organizing conferences, and providing grants for research projects, especially for scholars in Ukraine.
