Diary of the librarian: “Weekly calendar of Mariia Derkach (Feb­ruary 1, 1939 – January 1, 1940)”

DOI: https://doi.org/10.37222/2524-0315-2024-16(32)-18

In the personal archive of Mariia Furtak-Derkach in the Manuscript Department of Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv, the official diaries of the head of the Manuscript Department of the Library of Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, Dr. Mariia Derkach, for 1939 and the period of the Second World War are kept. These diaries contain information about the activities of the Library of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, and later its liquidation and forced inclusion in early 1940 into Soviet institution – the Lviv branch of the Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (LfBAN of the Ukrainian SSR). The reflected events of the first days and weeks after the beginning of the war, the change in the state system, the arri­val of the new government, the so-called “liberators” and related painful transformations in the work of the book collection, processes of nationali­zation of property and cultural treasures and concentration of archival and library collections are described there. All this took place against the background of the author’s daily planned work, the Manuscript Department and general library current life. Recorded dramatic historical events in Western Ukraine and the cultural life of the city.

In the article based on the diary of Mariia Derkach from her fund in the Manuscript Department of Vasyl Stefanyk National Library of Ukraine, it is shown how, despite numerous difficulties and problems, thanks to the selfless daily work of Ukrainian librarians, the preservation and formation of the funds of Lviv scientific library took place in the period of 1939. Despite the official na­ture of the diary, observations can also be made about the “survival strategies” of Galicians during the war and the first Soviet occupation of Western Ukraine.

Keywords: Library of Shevchenko Scientific Society, Manuscript Department, Lviv branch of the Libra ry of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Mariia Derkach, Volodymyr Doroshenko, book and manuscript collections, archives, historical collections.
