The Central Scientific Library of Karazin University has received a significant book collection on cultural studies, ethnology, and folklore as a gift from the Institute for Art Studies, Folklore, and Ethnology named after M.T. Rylsky of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. 

The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, represented by President and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Karazin University, Academician Anatoliy Zagorodniy, initiated a charitable campaign called "National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine - to Libraries" to support those scientific centers, research schools, and institutions that suffered the most.

Valentyna Sushko, Senior Researcher at the institute, stated: "We are presenting a collection consisting of modern editions of our luminaries: Pavlo Chubynsky, Filaret Kolessa, Kateryna Hrushevska. This is the foundation of Ukrainian humanities, the treasure that needs to be utilized."

Tron'ko, emphasized that historically, Karazin University has always been connected to and involved in studies of art history, ethnology, and folklore. After all, the university's founder, Vasyl Karazin, as a scholar-encyclopedist, contributed to the study of the intangible heritage of our region.
