Conference marks twentieth anniversary of Institute of Historical Research in Lviv
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The Institute was founded thanks to a generous donation from Petro and Ivanna Stelmach of Mississauga, Canada, who established an endowment fund at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies in 1989. With the support of two prominent historians, Professor Yaroslav Dashkevych (d. 2010) and Dr. Frank Sysyn, the Institute has supported the initiation of changes in the research and teaching of Ukrainian history in independent Ukraine.[more]
