general description: Archival holdings and some of the research materials of the Center are available through two digital projects: Urban Media Archive and Lviv Interactive. Although not specialized in Holocaust studies, these projects could offer a number of materials on Lviv and other cities and towns in the region of East-Central Europe. Urban Media Archive consists of digitized or digital-born collections of photos, films, videos, maps and oral history interviews that cover various topics related to the history of the 19th-20th century in East-Central Europe. The materials of the UMA come from various holdings: private collections, family archives, state institutions and other establishments. They were collected since the beginning of the Center for Urban History as a part of the research projects of our institution and represent our key interests. The annotated collections are available online at <a href"https://uma.lvivcenter.org">uma.lvivcenter.org. Additionally, the collections that are digitized but not yet described and published are available offline at the access point at the library of the CUH. The photographic holdings are the biggest part of the Urban Media Archive that represent the urban life of the cities from the late 19th century till now. As our institution is sited in Lviv the images of this city are dominant in our collection. Another part of the Urban Media Archive consists of moving images of different formats, mostly created in the second half of the 20th century. The digitized archive of Lviv Television covers the news programs released during the 1960s and 1970s. The collection of digitized 8mm and 16mm films and VHS (home movies, amateur films, video documentation) is the source of the history of everyday life, creative practices and public events in the region (1938-2008). The collection of historical maps consists of over 200 high-resolution scans of city plans from the 17th to 20th centuries. Among the cartographic materials of the Urban Media Archive, th…

history: The Center for Urban History is an independent research institution working across several areas: urban history research, digital humanities and archiving, and public history. It was established in 2004 and is now based in Lviv, Ukraine. The Center’s work has several objectives: to research the history of Eastern and Central European cities; to promote urban history in an interdisciplinary format; to foster international academic and cultural exchange; to deepen knowledge and understanding of the complexity and diversity of history and heritage in Eastern and Central European cities; and to enhance cooperation among local and international institutions. Our research focuses are connected with the history and historical experiences in the cities in Eastern and Central Europe, including their spatial, social, and cultural transformations and everyday practices. Our research projects look at the history of Lviv, but also include the history of other cities and towns of the region in order to bring a comparative perspective and contextualize historically contemporary discussions and developments. Our research studies lie in such areas as “Cities, Wars, and Recoveries in 20th Century Eastern Europe” or “Urban Heritages: Concepts, Practices and Legacies”. One of the examples of our engagement with urban heritage on both scholarly and practical levels is how our 2008 international conference,"Jewish Urban Heritage and History in East-Central Europ" sparked an initiative to commemorate and mark sites of Jewish history and heritage in Lviv. Over several years, it developed into <a href"https://www.lvivcenter.org/en/public-en/spatial/space-of-synagogues""The Space of Synagogue", which includes projects to conserve and mark the sites of two synagogues and a beth hamidrash in Lviv. This project was realized in cooperation with the Lviv City Council and the German Organization for International Cooperation (GIZ). Among other examples of cross-institutional cooperation was the <a…
