Organisers are also seeking artworks and manuscripts while authors are invited to donate signed first-edition copies of their books for an online auction in November
Donations of rare books, artworks, manuscripts, photographs and ephemera are being sought for an auction aimed at raising funds for Ukrainian booksellers and publishers affected by the Russia-Ukraine war.
Libraries, editorial offices and publishing houses were hit, and sections of the industry were “severely impacted” by the war, “in part because much of the production of Ukrainian books happens in the east in and around Kharkiv, a city that was at that time under siege and being bombed daily,” Askold Melnyczuk, an American author and translator who set up Hubb, told the Guardian.
“Interesting items of ephemera with attractive graphic design” are also encouraged, said Fournier. This includes “vintage posters, magazines and pamphlets that might be directly relevant to resistance movements or protests” and items that have “an important historical or social justice resonance.”
