Biographical / Historical

In 1964, the idea arose to compile and publish a regional collection about Iavoriv, Krakivets, and their surroundings. Its initiators were: Stepan Kulchyts'ky, Mariian Marenin, Volodymyr Barahura, Ivan Kharambura, Zynovii Kokhanovs'ky, Mariia and Myron Masiuk, Iryna Vanchyts'ka, Mykola Kharkalis, and Roman Brytan. A committee was formed, which created an editorial board headed by Stepan Kulchyts'kyi. Its task was to collect materials about the Iavoriv region.
