Abstract

For the past twenty years, researchers from Kremenets Taras Shevchenko Regional Academy of Humanities and Pedagogy and the National University of Ostroh Academy have been cooperating in the field of Ukrainian Samchuk studies. The article chronologically traces their participation in symposia dedicated, among other things, to the prominent Ukrainian emigrant writer Ulas Samchuk. The author emphasises the special role of Valerii Polkovskyi, Head of the Centre for Canadian Studies of the National University of Ostroh Academy, whose professional interests were aligned with the scholars of our Academy. The author also analyzes the chronicle of the participation of O. Vasylyshyn, I. Kominyarska, O. Pasichnyk and others in the traditional Canadian Scientific Readings. Additionally, the article focuses on the role of Professor P. Kraliuk in the study and promotion of Samchuk's heritage, including the publication of his literary portrait of the Volyn writer by the Kharkiv publishing house Folio. It is noted that with the assistance of P. Kraliuk, almost all of the writer's works were published there.
