Section: Studies in Special Historical Disciplines

Abstract: In the article the bulk of domestic historiography is systematized, general and special studies on the topic are distinguished. The scientific achievements of Ukrainian scientists, created both at the age of the Soviet state and at the time of the independence of Ukraine concerning the emigration of the Ukrainian immigrants to Canada, social and political life of the Diaspora in the interwar period and the impact on it of the immigration policy of the country are analyzed. The changes in the methods and methodology of the Soviet and contemporary historiography are reflected, the causes of these differences with taking into consideration the periodization of the national historical thought development are analyzed. It has been noted, the source base of the national Diaspora studies is substantially extending due to the transfer of previously inaccessible Canadian archives to Ukraine. The author states, that the Ukrainian ethnic group in Canada has mostly been researched by the Diaspora scientists. It is ascertained how deeply certain questions were enlightened, and what problems require further research.

Keywords: scientific research, domestic historiography, Ukrainian Diaspora, Canada.
