Ukrainian History and Education Center

The official YouTube channel of the Ukrainian History and Education Center in Somerset, NJ. The UHEC’s mission is to connect generations by telling the stories of Ukraine and Ukrainian Americans through its museum and archives collections, rotating exhibitions, educational and cultural programming, and online resources that increase the appreciation of Ukrainian history and culture among non-Ukrainians and help Ukrainian Americans better understand their roots. 

The UHEC museum permanent collection consists of over 15,000 objects of folk art, fine art, and objects related to Ukrainian culture, history, and religious beliefs and practices. The UHEC archives holds hundreds of collections documenting the cultural, religious, and political history of Ukraine and Ukrainians in the United States. It also has one of the largest collections of Ukrainian recorded sound and radio programming in the world, including over 1,500 magnetic tapes, over 2,200 78rpm discs, and over 2,000 vinyl records.
