History of the Library
The building housing the Academy is a piece of architectural art of the 18th century, a part of it being allocated to the library. It was constructed in the years of 1766-1777 by the architect Rastrelli as a palace for the Governor-General on the site formerly belonging to the manor of Count Davier. Since 1805 and until 1958, one of the first universities in the country, the University of Kharkov (presently V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) had been located in it. In 1958, Ukrainian Correspondence Polytechnic Institute (UCPI) was founded in this building, in accordance with Order No. 62 of the Council of Ministers of Ukraine of 24.01.1958 and Order of Ministry of Higher Education of Ukraine No. 78 of 21.02.1958. In 1990, UCPI was renamed into Kharkiv Engineering and Pedagogical Institute (KEPI), and in 1994 it was further renamed into Ukrainian Engineering and Pedagogical Academy (UEPA).
