Alex J. Zabrosky was born in Chicago in 1922. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany during the Second World War. Following the war he served as a sponsor and helped families move to the United States. He would also help them find jobs at places such as Ryerson Steel, where Zabrosky was a structural engineer and executive. Zabrosky was involved in the Ukrainian National Association and the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America. Besides his involvement with Ukrainian organizations, he was active in the Republican Party. With backing from the party he made an unsuccessful run for the 6th District in Congress in 1970. In 1974 he ran again, but lost in the primary to Henry Hyde. The papers include personal documents, correspondence, radio transcripts, press releases, clippings, and photographs. Much of the material is related to his activities in the Chicago area on behalf of Ukraine and Ukrainians.
