In December 1951 the Ukrainian Technical-Husbandry Institute Association was chartered in New York. This association was chartered as an education institution under the name of The Ukrainian Technical Institute on August 11, 1954, a modified continuation of the postsecondary school Ukrainian Husbandry Academy established in Prague in May 1922. Courses began during the 1954-1955 academic year and continued until the 1963-1964 academic year when the Institute folded. At first the Institute was divided into two divisions, offering courses in economics and political science. In 1956 the Board of Trustees approved the organization of a third division, Engineering; in 1958 it authorized the creation of a Department of Education and Pedagogy; and in 1962 it added a fourth division, Divinity. The mission of the Institute was to provide professional and vocational training for positions in business and government, as well as to promote Ukrainian cultural values. The Institute’s records provide background into the establishment, organization, and management of the Institute. They include administrative, financial, course, and student records.
