Most of the materials in the fonds reflect Slabchenko’s/Deslaw’s interest and participation in Ukrainian diplomatic activity, best exemplified by his unpublished manuscript Dyplomatychna Istoriia Ukrainy (Diplomatic History of Ukraine) and the artefacts and images he collected which relate to UNR diplomatic missions. Images, documents and labels collected by Deslaw were part of an exhibition in the late 1970s. The fonds also contains items relevant to Deslaw’s film career, including newspaper clippings about the films he directed.
