About
The Ukrainian American Archives and Museum of Detroit (UAAM) was founded by Ukrainian refugees to America after the Second World War. Established in 1958 to hold an expansive collection of folk art, paintings, ceramics, medals, memorabilia, historical documents, photography, and Ukrainian-language books and periodicals, the non-profit 501c3, which is a member of the Ukrainian Heritage Consortium of North America (UHCNA), began as a "basement museum." The small bank building that replaced the basement was replaced by a 13,500 square-foot building near the Hamtramck Historical Museum and the Polish Art Center in 2017.
