Hubarzhevskyi Ihor

Ihor Volodymyrovych Hubarzhevskyi (May 30, 1905, Dereshova village, currently of the Murovani Kurylivtsi District, Vinnytsia Region – November 5, 1970, New York) was a Ukrainian scholar, priest, and public figure.
The library and archival collection of Ihor Hubarzhevskyi was donated to NaUKMA in 2011 by his daughter, Yaroslava Frantsuzhenko-Hubarzhevska, who resides in the United States.
The library collection comprises 2,346 items representing 1,244 titles of books and periodicals. A significant portion of the collection contains either ownership inscriptions by Ihor Hubarzhevskyi or his personal stamps, both circular and rectangular, identifying the books as part of his personal library.
A list of books in the Ihor Hubarzhevskyi Collection may be accessed through the NaUKMA Library Electronic Catalogue by searching for “Frantsuzhenko” in the “Donor” field.
The archival component of the collection was transferred to NaUKMA together with the library holdings. The scholarly and creative materials include handwritten, typescript, and printed versions of articles on linguistics, social and historical topics, and religious issues, as well as lecture texts, literary and poetic works, research notes, and related materials. During his years in emigration, Hubarzhevskyi published scholarly articles and literary works under his own name as well as under the pseudonym I. Tyverets.
The largest section of the archive consists of correspondence covering the entire period of Hubarzhevskyi’s life in emigration (1943–1970). As a clergyman, he maintained extensive correspondence with bishops, clergy, and members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church abroad; with Ukrainian emigrant political and civic organizations; with academic and educational institutions; publishing houses; and numerous prominent representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora.
Among the documents are letters from leading hierarchs of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in exile, including Metropolitans Ioan (Teodorovych), Ilarion (Ohiienko), Polikarp (Sikorskyi), Mstyslav (Skrypnyk), and Bohdan (Shpylka); Archbishops Sylvestr (Haievskyi), Hryhorii (Ohiichuk), Palladii (Vydybyda-Rudenko), and Nikanor (Abramovych); and Bishop Platon (Artemiuk).
The collection also preserves autographs and correspondence from prominent Ukrainian scholars, writers, and public figures, including D. Doroshenko, N. Polonska-Vasylenko, P. Kovaliv, Y. Shevelov, V. Miiakovskyi, writer and public figure I. Bahrianyi, theatre scholar V. Revutskyi, and M. Livytskyi, President of the Ukrainian People's Republic in exile, among others.

The collection is fully represented in the Electronic Catalogue.
