| Summary: | The Library of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) is only over a quarter of a century old. Its foundation and development are closely linked to the complex history of Ukraine, the University, and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The Library inherited the academic traditions of the Greek Catholic Theological Academy, founded in Lviv in 1928–1929 by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky. After bombing the Academy’s buildings in September 1939 and wartime, books were almost entirely scattered. The formation of a new Library theological collection closely connected with encouraging gifts of books from church organisations from abroad and sacrificial support of the Ukrainian diaspora. This collection presents the most excellent national and foreign languages literature on religious studies, liturgy, patristics, church history, canon law, the Holy Scriptures, and its translations. |
