Heritage Studies and Heritage Preservation Work at the Academician P. T. Tronko Center for Ukrainian Studies and Local History (V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) during the Full-Scale Phase of the Russo-Ukrainian War (2022–2024)
Abstract
The paper gives an account of the work of heritage study and preservation at the Academician P. T. Tronko Center for Ukrainian Studies and Local History (V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) in the period from the start of the full-scale phase of the Russo-Ukrainian War to 2024. The author considers the participation of representatives of the Tronko Center in various events dedicated to the study and preservation of Ukraine’s historical and cultural heritage in wartime, with a focus on Kharkiv and the region. Among such events and projects were, for instance, a series of webinars initiated by the Organization of World Heritage Cities, which focused on the losses suffered by the cultural heritage of historic Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages, as well as steps being taken and assistance needed to preserve it. In addition, the participants discussed directions of further cooperation, particularly in the area of coordination between Ukrainian heritage protection specialists and their colleagues around the world. Members of the Tronko Center also took part in discussions around the issues of protection and restoration of Kharkiv monuments hosted by the Polish-Ukrainian platform “Dom Odbudowy Ukrainy” (“The House of Reconstruction of Ukraine”). In 2022, in collaboration with Kharkiv City Council and V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, the center helped coordinate international humanitarian assistance to archives, museums, and libraries in Kharkiv and the region. The paper also notes the center’s involvement in research projects dealing with the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine, particularly urban cultural heritage (such as the project CITY AND WAR, in collaboration with Karazin University’s Department of Historiography, Source Studies, and Archaeology); organization in 2024 of an offline and online exhibition of ceramic artifacts from the collection of the center’s Section of Ethnography, as part of the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people; participation in heritage-related conferences, round tables, and seminars, and more. In addition, representatives of the center serve on commissions for protection of cultural heritage.
