Summary/Abstract: Julia-Valerie Niementowska (1899-1982), a daughter of the classic author of Ukrainian literature Ulyana Kravchenko (1860-1947) devoted her life to ordering and preservation of her mother’s creativity and her archive. Thanks to her activities, modern scholars can use valuable documents that relate not only to the life and work of Ulyana Kravchenko, but also to many figures of Ukrainian culture at the end of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. The materials from her mother’s personal archive were located in Kyiv and Warsaw. On the verge of 1950-1960 a part of the most valuable manuscripts Julia Niementowska was transferred from the mother’s archive to the Institute of Literature at the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Instead, the bulk of Ulyana Kravchenko’s archive after the death of Julia Niementowska were moved into the monastic archive of the Basilian Fathers in Warsaw.
