This is a catalog for the 2018 travelling display Love Letters from the Past launched by the Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore.

This exhibit explores love and courtship culture as it was shaping up in the Ukrainian Canadian community. Through actual letters, memoirs, family photographs, and various publications, we learn how personal relationships evolved, and how this new culture flourished in both urban and rural environments. We also explore this new cultural phenomenon by showcasing "how-to" Ukrainian publications, such as "How to Write Letters", as well as real and satirical fictional letters that were published in newspapers. 

The catalogue is trilingual - written in English, Ukrainian, and French, and will appeal to a multi-generational audience.
