Encyclopedia of Ukraine
The Encyclopedia of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Енциклопедія українознавства) is an English language, free, online encyclopedia covering wide range of issues on Ukraine, including its history, people, geography, economy, culture, etc.
The resource is created and run by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta and the Shevchenko Scientific Society (Sarcelles, France) [1][2] (1984–93) and published by the University of Toronto Press.
The Encyclopedia has print and online variants. Its published edition consists of five volumes, almost 4,000 pages and some 12,500 alphabetical entries.
It was called as "the most comprehensive and balanced work in the English language on Ukraine and Ukrainians in the diaspora" and a "monumental publication" by the Canadian Journal of History.[2] According to Prof. Oleh Romaniv from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Volodymyr Kubiyovych's Encyclopedia of Ukraine demonstrates an exemplar of Ukrainian bias and preconception in relation to Russia, which was very typical for the works of Ukrainian Emigrants during the period of Soviet-Union.[3]
Volodymyr Kubiyovych was the editor-in-chief of Volumes I and II (published in 1984 and 1988 respectively). The concluding three volumes, with Danylo Husar Struk as editor-in-chief, appeared in 1993.[2]
The Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine
The Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine is a work in progress. Upon completion, the IEU will become the most authoritative and comprehensive Internet-based resource in English on Ukraine and Ukrainians. Currently it contains some 6,000 entries and 5,000 illustrations.
The current Encyclopedia team consists of Roman Senkus, Managing Editor, Dr. Marko R. Stech, Project Manager, Andrij Makuch, Senior Manuscript Editor, and a team of subject editors. This site was designed by Jaroslaw Kiebalo; Walter Kiebalo acted as consulting designer.
