Obtained from Luba Lewytzkyj, who obtained them from her father, Fr. Volodymyr Lewytzkyj. He likely obtained them from Metropolitan Ioan, for whom he was personal secretary and an editor of "Dnipro".

Processing Information

The collection arrived at the archives as stacks of papers with little discernable original order other than loose ordering by date. The present arrangment was imposed by the processing archivist in a manner that attempted to preserve spatial proximity among the documents.
