The article analyses the correspondence of Ivan Boberskyi’s public-political figure with writer Ostap Hrytsai. The author of the publication provides brief information about the authors of the letters and the history of archival collections, where these documents were stored. The letters show the great work of Ukrainian emigration in preserving the national historical heritage. They point out the last period of Boberskyi’s life, which is almost unknown to researchers. From them it is clear, that he continued patriotic work for the benefit of Ukraine, and, in particular, he took care to preserve his archives and archives of the Ukrainian Sichovi Striltsi (USS), which collected for a long time “protocols, notes, letters, plates from the picture in the field, photographs, magazines, prints, books”. Letters shed light on the still unknown circumstances of life and work of Ivan Boberskyi, his strong ties with Ostap Hrytsai. Their content broadens the idea of activity in interwar Ukrainian emigration, primarily in Vienna.
