CLIO HUB

CLIO HUB (Ukrainian: «КЛІО ХАБ») is a Ukrainian non-governmental organization founded in Kharkiv in 2023. Its participants include Ukrainian museum professionals, cultural-heritage experts and volunteers, and its core field of activity is projects focused on preserving cultural memory and assisting Ukraine's cultural institutions. The organization operates as a non-profit civil-society body rather than a commercial company, and it is registered in Ukraine under the EDRPOU code 45182216. The organization's stated main directions of activity are the implementation of scholarly, cultural, artistic, museum, educational, archival, library and digital projects about culture and history; the creation of new opportunities for public dialogue and discussion; and the expansion of conditions for cooperation at the local, regional and international level. It promotes research in the humanities and social sciences, including experimental development, and it applies digital tools to support cultural-heritage digitization, digital archiving and work with intangible heritage. It also carries out scientific and educational activity through conferences, workshops and seminars, lectures and presentations, and it provides assistance to cultural institutions such as museums, libraries and historical-cultural reserves. A flagship project highlighted by the organization is "СЛОБОЖАНСЬКИЙ КОД. ЦЕРКОВНА СТАРОВИНА" (roughly, "Slobozhansky Code: Church Antiquities"). Its main goal is the digitization of a unique collection of church relics of the 17th–20th centuries from the holdings of the M. F. Sumtsov Kharkiv Historical Museum, and the creation of a modern digital cultural product accessible to a broad audience in Ukraine and beyond. CLIO HUB presents itself as a platform for cultural-memory work, heritage popularization and public discussion, and it invites support through charitable contributions to its statutory activity. Its work sits at the intersection of heritage preservation, digital humanities and civil-society engagement, with a geographic base in Kharkiv and a reach that explicitly extends to audiences outside Ukraine.
