DAY 40 June 16, 2008

Paul Macenko Research

My online search was a success. I discovered that there is a repository of information about Macenko at the Ukrainian Cultural and Education Centre archives in downtown Winnipeg. There is a summary of the collection there listed on line which I has pasted below, it reads:

36. Paul Macenko (Pavlo Matsenko) fonds. 1901-1984.
Paul Macenko (1897-1991) was a musicologist, composed and author who completed his doctoral studies in Prague. He emigrated to Canada in 1936 and worked as a choir conductor and music teacher. He served as cultural and educational director of the Ukrainian National Federation and secretary of the Board of Directors of the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre.

I will contact the executive curator at the centre, Sofia Kachor, next week in order to arrange for access to the collection, if it is possible.
