We are very excited to announce the launch of our Online Catalogue! We’ve been working hard for over a year to bring our collections to you! We’ve accepted a challenge to defy the limited physical space of our building and went digital!
Oseredok is the first in the North American Ukrainian Heritage Community to offer remote access to its collections through Online Catalogue! Providing access to and promoting the Ukrainian Canadian heritage is paramount to Oseredok!
Online Catalogue allows you to browse our collections remotely, whether at home, work, or traveling! If you have an Internet connection, you can visit us 24/7!
Online Catalogue gives you access to our four collections: museum, archives, fine art, and library. Our collections still need to be cataloged and digitized; however, we can offer you a good representation of our holdings: 1252 museum artifacts, 1235 library holdings, 424 fine art pieces, 4583 photographs, and 600 glass slides. The Catalogue is a living-breathing system that will be constantly updated as we secure funding to catalog and digitize the remaining holdings.
You can browse or search our collections using Online Catalogue functionalities by object type, date, material, technique, artist, author, donor, location, etc. The video and PDF tutorials on using the Catalogue are available in English and Ukrainian on our website.
Happy research and exploration to everyone!
Please consider donating to our Collections Fund to help catalogue and digitize our unique and extraordinary collections!
