The Mykhailo Kachkovsky Society is a cultural and educational society created in 1874 in Kolomyia on the initiative of Father Ivan Naumovich by Galician Muscovite activists, modeled on the Prosvita society created by the Narodniks in 1868. The society was named in honor of Mykhailo Kachkovsky, a Narodnik-Austrophile, who, however, left a foundation of 60,000 guilders as a gift to the Narodny Dom in Lviv. In 1876, the society was moved to Lviv, where it was located in a house at 13 Blyakharska Street. Since 1888, the house at 14 Valova Street, built by architect Vikenty Kuznevych, has become the society's home. The M. Kachkovsky Society had numerous branches in county towns and reading rooms in villages, carried out educational activities, monthly published a booklet from the “People's Library” series and annual educational and economic calendars, and since 1924 the magazine “Nauka” has been published. The existence of the society lost its meaning with the decline of Muscovite sentiment, so the number of its members decreased. In the center of the image is a portrait of the founder - Mikhail Kachkovsky. On the left is an allegorical figure of a woman holding a torch and an open book with the words: "Pray, Learn, Work, Sober".
