Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO)
We are a group of cultural heritage professionals – librarians, archivists, researchers, programmers – working together to identify and archive at-risk sites, digital content, and data in Ukrainian cultural heritage institutions while the country is under attack. We are using a combination of technologies to crawl and archive sites and content, including the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the Browsertrix crawler and the ArchiveWeb.page browser extension and app of the Webrecorder project.
How you can get involved
- No clue what’s going on? Visit our orientation page.
- Submit important URLs for collections in cultural heritage institutions in Ukraine
- If you can read Ukrainian or Russian, or if you can run the Browsertrix crawler (check out our Browsertrix documentation to see if it’s something you’d be up for trying), fill out the volunteer form.
- We are currently at capacity for people to help with Wayback Machine / Internet Archive tasks or manual Webrecorder tasks, but you can still help by submitting URLs.
Project admins:
- Quinn Dombrowski, Stanford University
- Anna E. Kijas, Tufts University
- Sebastian Majstorovic, Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
You can reach all the admins at info@sucho.org. If you are a Ukrainian scholar who needs free storage for your research materials, please email storage@sucho.org to be connected with our partners at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and the University of Alberta.

Bar-Ilan University identifies with the challenging situation that the Ukrainian people are facing, and has therefore established a special fund to assist guest researchers, lecturers, undergraduate and graduate students who come to Bar-Ilan University. We invite Ukrainian students to come study in any of our English language degree programs and to integrate into our existing research groups. Ukrainian and Russian speaking students can be mentored in their native language by Bar-Ilan students, thus ensuring a smoother absorption into campus life. Additionally, the university’s clinic networks are available to provide any necessary emotional, social or legal assistance if so needed.
