Volodymyr P. Solowij (1892-1958) served as secretary of the Ukrainian National Republic mission to Denmark. In the interwar period he was active in the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance and, in the election of 1935, ran for a seat in the Polish Sejm. In 1939 he left for Paris, and in the following year was sent to London by Oleksander Shulhyn as a representative of the Government-in-exile of the UNR. In 1952 he immigrated to Montreal, Canada, where he worked as an administrator for Sir George Williams College. The collection includes a typescript of a biography about the Slolowij family, and a folder containing foreign bank notes, including currency from Poland, Austro-Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Georgia, Italy, Yugoslavia, Russia, and Ukraine. Ukrainian currency includes an exchange note of the Ukrainian National Republic State Treasury, and state credit notes.
