Folk culture collection

---

Collecting undertaken by the Cultural Studies division documents folklife and the multicultural makeup of Canadian society (with the exception of Canada's First Peoples). The collection comprises about 23,000 artifacts, many of which lie in the area of folk arts. In recent years, collecting has expanded into the area of fine crafts.

Decorated eggs represent a traditional craft
developed by the Ukrainian community in Canada
into a vivid cultural symbol and source of ethnic pride.
