Continuity and Change: The Cultural Life of Alberta's First Ukrainians
Subject
The topic of the resource
Ukrainian Canadians
Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong><em>A comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of the life of the first Ukrainian immigrants. The volume consists of eight parts. It begins with a prologue by Roman Onufrijchuk that sets the stage for understanding the difficult process of cultural transmission and accomodation, made even more difficult for the first Ukrainian settlers, who were from the peasant stratum as well as pioneers. It ends with a more theoretical epilogue by Ian H. Angus that points up the unique significance of ethnocultural communities in rescuing Canadian identity from the universalizing grip of homogenizing cultures like that of the United States. In between, the volume explores (in the second part) the historical conditions in western Ukraine and western Canada at the turn of the century, the overall nature of the rural Ukrainian bloc settlement in east central Alberta (the largest in Canada), and the contrast between the cluster village in Ukraine and the railroad village in the West. In this part, John-Paul Himka presents the hypothesis tested indirectly by subsequent presentations: "Ukrainian immigrants in Canada were at first not only culturally more traditional/backward than most Canadians but also more traditional/backward than their contemporaries in western Ukraine." The next four parts on material culture, the life of women, customs and beliefs, and cultural institutions and organizations in the new world could be said to constitute the heart of the volume. The life of the first immigrants is analyzed in detail in terms of the problems of shelter, agricultural technology, the status and responsibilities of women, the endurance of customs and beliefs, and the evolution of institutions and organizations that were similar to, yet distinct from, those in the Old Country. The analysis is as strong as the field work on which it depends, and there is no doubt a lesson here for all ethnocultural groups: research in the field should begin early, while most of the immigrant generation is still alive. The seventh part on the "open-air" museum may be seen as the applied part of the conference and is, of course, most directly relevant to the needs and concerns of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. As a type, the village has numerous models in other countries, and its problems, like its accomplishments, are in some respects unique. Contributors include Orest T. Martynowych, Frances Swyripa, Peter Melnycky, Marie Lesoway, Andrij Makuch, Kathleen Conzen, James Fitch, Vivian Olender, Sandra Thompson, Bohdan Medwidsky, Robert Klymasz, Roman Onufrijchuk, T.D. Regehr, Matti Kaups, and others. Published in association with Historic Sites Services, Alberta Culture. See Ukrainians and Alberta in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.</em></strong></p>

Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism
Description
An account of the resource
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. <br /><br />The fifth Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year was held on December 1. Dr. Manoly Lupul spoke on " Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism."<br /><br /> In his presentation the speaker analyzed the linguistic-cultural situation in Canada, with emphasis on Quebec, and rejected both separation and the present federal arrangement as viable options for that province. Dr. Lupul put forward a new concept, regional federalism, whereby the regions of Canada would institute language policies in accordance with the ethnocultural character of their population.<br /><br /> In Quebec French must become the sole language of communication and Dr. Lupul criticized the powerful Anglophone minority in Quebec for its reluctance to learn French. The resulting "one-way' bilingualism, forced the Francophone majority to learn the language of the minority —English— in order to survive in a predominantly Anglophone economic community. Tensions would ease considerably if Anglophones were to use the language of the Francophone majority. Most Quebecers would still require a knowledge of English to survive on the North American continent, while the non-Anglo-Celtic and non-French ethnic groups would have to become trilingual in order to preserve their identity.<br /><br /> Ethnic groups in other provinces, however, should be better accommodated within the policy of official bilingualism, and should be allowed to further their cultural and linguistic aspirations. In the Prairie provinces, for example, the larger groups, such as the Ukrainians or Germans, should have access to their native language in education as exemplified by the Ukrainian-English bilingual program in Edmonton, a permanent feature of Alberta's school system.<br /><br />Found in<a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1567"> CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1567">Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 2 (Winter 1977)</a> </span>

<span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;">CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />The seminar, "Ukrainian Language Instruction in Great Britain and Alberta: Similarities and Contrasts," was presented on November 28 by Ihor Kruk, M.A. candidate in Slavic literature at the University of Alberta.<br /><br /> The speaker drew a parallel between the Ukrainian educational systems developed by the Ukrainian-speaking communities of Edmonton and Britain, 60,000 and 20,000 respectively. Whereas the British Ukrainian community has a "ridna shkola" system of 810 pupils in 30 schools with 116 teachers (1977-78), there were 528 pupils in 11 schools with 43 teachers in Edmonton (1978-79). A comparison of the two systems indicates that the British Ukrainians have a more coordinated system of "ridni shkoly" which includes a centralized educational program, visits by inspectors and standardized final examinations. Britain has only one professor at a public university who can teach Ukrainian; Edmonton has five professors of Ukrainian at the University of Alberta. Edmonton also has a bilingual programme in eight schools, with over 700 students in public and separate schools combined, a programme which does not exist in Britain. Alberta also has 34 junior high schools and 18 senior high schools which offer public instruction in Ukrainian. Nothing comparable exists in Britain's state educational systems, though "0" level examinations are available to those who study Ukrainian privately.<br /><br /> The speaker also discussed the historical development of Ukrainian language instruction both in state and private "Saturday" schools, programs of teaching and teaching methods, the falling language fluency of younger generations, and teaching requirements for the future. <br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1571">CIUS <span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978) </span></a><br /></span>

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. <br /><br />"Ukrainian-Canadian Communists and the Kryza in Alberta" was the topic of the seventh Institute seminar of the current academic year at the University of Alberta. Mr. Andrij Makuch, a recent B.A. (honours) graduate in history, and now a research assistant, gave the seminar on January 30, 1979.<br /><br /> Ukrainian members of the Communist Party of Canada formed the backbone of the party since its inception in 1921, but played a minimal role in its key functions. They were restricted largely to activity within their foreign-language unit. When the Communist Party undertook a campaign to radicalize all Prairie farmers after the onset of the Great Depression, it sent the Ukrainian farmers into areas where they already had a degree of support, rather than into other fields.<br /><br /> Their organizational efforts invoked manifestations of loyalty to their adopted country by Ukrainian patriots and an attempted disassociation of communism from Ukrainians. This was both a recognition of the tenuous acceptance Ukrainians had in Canadian society and a reflection of their genuine belief that the communists were undermining the British ideals which they had adopted as their own. The manner in which these forces played themselves out is best illustrated by events in Alberta, which had the largest Ukrainian block settlement in Canada and was an area of strong communist support.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project (Planning Conference)
Description
An account of the resource
This year the program initiated Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project. A planning conference was held on 26 January 2008, and the materials are available on the CIUS Religion and Culture website: http://www.ualberta.ca/cius/religion-culture/c-sanctuaryworkshop.htm. The planning conference established the basic parameters of the project: <br /><br />digitizing, as comprehensively as possible, existing records, such as old photographs, paintings, and videos, whether in church, public, or individual possession, for a central digital record to be housed at the University of Alberta;<br /><br /> systematically and comprehensively documenting anew all churches (exterior and interior), paintings, carvings, church vessels, furnishings, banners, vestments, bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in the Ukrainian prairie settlements, including making virtual reality movies;<br /><br /> digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services;<br /><br /> interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches;<br /><br /> linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s);<br /><br /> making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet;<br /><br /> presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form;<br /><br /> also presenting the results at learned conferences and meetings of professional associations (such as the Alberta Museums Association, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Slavists, and the Canadian Historical Association). <br /><br /> This project is timely in two ways. First, it is a response to a crisis. The Ukrainian churches and related monuments in prairie communities are under threat. Many churches are being vandalized, falling into disrepair, or even collapsing. Small and aging congregations are unable to provide the security and maintenance necessary to preserve physical structures. To obtain a record of the sacral marks that Ukrainians made on the prairies, it is necessary to act within this coming decade. Second, the project is a response to an opportunity. We now have a kind of technology that allows us to make many thousands of photographs at low cost, store them in a small space, integrate them in searchable databases, and diffuse them globally. It is envisioned that Sanctuary will bring grantees from Ukraine to Canada to contribute to the project and gain experience from it. The program is applying for grants in order to fund the project.

John-Paul Himka: Welcome to the planning workshop for Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project. As you know, our project wants to make sure that Ukrainian sacred culture on the prairies is well documented for future scholars and for future generations. We do not know how much of the material aspects of that culture will still be standing a generation from now. Some churches are in disrepair and others no longer exist. Our rural communities are shrinking drastically. Not all these buildings can be preserved physically, but we can at least make sure that they have been carefully recorded for posterity. We want a digitized record of all past projects that have painted or photographed the churches. We want to copy historical photos in private and institutional hands for a central digital record. The Sanctuary project will itself systematically photograph all churches (exterior and interior), bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. We will also digitize all historic recordings of church music from the parishes. At least some of this material will be made available on the internet. The question that we should have in mind as we proceed today is: If all these churches were to disappear, what record would we like to have left behind? We have, we realize, invited too many people to do too many things in too little time at today’s workshop. Yet I remain convinced that this is the way to begin. We plan to do more follow up later, and we can electronically collect and share input from all the participants who have points to make that did not get aired in the oral discussions. The main point of today’s workshop is to gather and sift ideas about how to proceed. We have already learned a tremendous amount just preparing the workshop. The next step we envision is applying for a grant of $10,000 or so to run a pilot project this spring and summer. That should give us the experience to put together a major grant application to do the entire job that we want to get done. I am looking forward to completion within five to seven years. From what we’ve learned so far, we know there have been excellent related projects conducted in the past and going on now. One task we envision is linking all the dispersed information together. It also looks like our project will have to do a thorough job recording the interiors of churches. The charm of an onion-domed church on the prairie landscape has led many to paint and photograph exteriors, but the icons inside, the vessels and vestments inside, have not been as lovingly or assiduously recorded. In certain respects our task will be reminiscent of the kind of information collected by parish visitations in the past, which included a written inventory of the entire contents of churches. We will produce a written and visual inventory. This will have practical importance for the churches themselves and for church institutional structures; scholarly significance for generations of art historians, historians, liturgists, and musicologists; and emotional significance for the many who can trace their ancestors to these sacred monuments. This project will be labor intensive, and we need skilled volunteer labor in mass. I also envision bringing students and young scholars from Ukraine to help. This will be good for them and good for the project. Ukraine it self is in desperat e need of a similar project and of people who could carry it out. A few notes about procedures. Please, if you have not already done so, go pick up a name tag and sign the pink release form. The release form allows us to film the workshop. Also, time is short, so I beg all speakers to stay strictly within their suggested time limits. During the discussions that follow presentations, please come up to the podium to speak. This is important so that all can hear what you have to say and so that we can record the workshop effectively. Please identify yourself at the beginning of your comments. And, of course, try to formulate your insights in such a way that it economizes on the use of speaker time. Finally, I have to thank the Ukrainian Studies Fund, which subsidized much of the travel for out-of-town participants. I especially want to thank the Fund’s director, Roman Procyk. Also, I want to recognize the efficient work of my assistant in the Religion and Culture Program, Pan Magister Michal Mlynarz. Let the games begin!

Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project (Planning Conference)
Description
An account of the resource
This year the program initiated Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project. A planning conference was held on 26 January 2008, and the materials are available on the CIUS Religion and Culture website: http://www.ualberta.ca/cius/religion-culture/c-sanctuaryworkshop.htm. The planning conference established the basic parameters of the project: <br /><br />digitizing, as comprehensively as possible, existing records, such as old photographs, paintings, and videos, whether in church, public, or individual possession, for a central digital record to be housed at the University of Alberta;<br /><br /> systematically and comprehensively documenting anew all churches (exterior and interior), paintings, carvings, church vessels, furnishings, banners, vestments, bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in the Ukrainian prairie settlements, including making virtual reality movies;<br /><br /> digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services;<br /><br /> interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches;<br /><br /> linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s);<br /><br /> making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet;<br /><br /> presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form;<br /><br /> also presenting the results at learned conferences and meetings of professional associations (such as the Alberta Museums Association, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Slavists, and the Canadian Historical Association). <br /><br /> This project is timely in two ways. First, it is a response to a crisis. The Ukrainian churches and related monuments in prairie communities are under threat. Many churches are being vandalized, falling into disrepair, or even collapsing. Small and aging congregations are unable to provide the security and maintenance necessary to preserve physical structures. To obtain a record of the sacral marks that Ukrainians made on the prairies, it is necessary to act within this coming decade. Second, the project is a response to an opportunity. We now have a kind of technology that allows us to make many thousands of photographs at low cost, store them in a small space, integrate them in searchable databases, and diffuse them globally. It is envisioned that Sanctuary will bring grantees from Ukraine to Canada to contribute to the project and gain experience from it. The program is applying for grants in order to fund the project.

<span style="font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;"></span> <span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 4 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br />This is a political action by the Canadian Ukrainian community. Multicultural policy has faded. But an important part of our heritage were Ukrainian bloc settlements, Ukrainian areas of cities. The Ukrainian districts of cities are being dissolved. The monuments are markers that we existed and were a presence in Western Canada. These markers resist our erasure as a community. Help give us a sense of ourselves as unique and special, self-recognition.<br />It is getting harder and harder to justify the Ukrainian “group” to Ukrainian Canada. This project helps our recognition by others.<br />The distinctive Ukrainian churches on the prairies are attractive. People stop their cars to look at and investigate them. Consider that the French Canadians have a geographical place. Ukrainians need to have place too.<br />Also valuable as centers of religious, spiritual development. They have a power. We have to remember why these buildings were built in the first place.<br />Ukrainian Canadian Congress has not been a leader in heritage preservation, but it is interested in it. The heritage is endangered. People are throwing things out, valuable things, as they clean up.<br />Also there are all sorts of auxiliary activities and benefits that can come out of this project. This is a huge project.<br /><br /><a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Transcription found in this PDF</a></span>

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 5 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br />Churchyards and graveyards. Renewal – examples of renewed cemeteries. They often have interesting historical information reproduced (terminology, cross shape).<br />Physical decay. Wooden crosses are endangered.<br />Renewal and loss. When things are restored and destroy the old original, English inscriptions over Ukrainian originals, for example. Mistranslations – loss of meaning.<br />Continuity. An interesting example. Examples of preservation and enhancement.<br />Some grave markers give information on immigration history. Interesting information on last names.<br />Cement casts may be the next to go after wooden markers. They are painted white with texts in black – but they have to be repainted. Some who repaint do not know Ukrainian and garble the text.<br />Who were the craftsmen who made crosses and markers?<br />The kinds of crosses used tell their own story, markers of Bukovinians and Galicians, Catholics and Orthodox.<br /><br />[Further to John Sokolowski’s presentation and Ostap Skrypnyk’s comments about churches along the Yellowhead Highway please see attached video “For Harry”. It is a tribute to a maker of Ukrainian cemetery markers in Saskatchewan. In addition to the Ukrainian churches at Insinger, Saskatchewan the clip includes images of the St. Michael’s Ukrainian Orthodox church at Gardenton and the St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Orthodox church currently located at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=501FiHsZobc<br /><br />-- Peter Melnycky]<br /><br /><a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Outline found in this PDF</a></span>

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 6 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br /></span>Interesting additional information on graveyards, crosses (much discussion of three-barred crosses). (Bohdan Hrynyshyn, Jars Balan, Andrij Hornjatkevyc, others) It is important to note that Ukrainians were next to other ethnic groups. We should consider graveyards where Ukrainians were in a minority. Ukrainians were also buried in largely Polish cemeteries. She cited some examples. We should look at these. (Stella Hryniuk) There are missing cemeteries. Saskatchewan Genealogical Society is trying to piece together all the cemeteries. Looking for volunteers to deal with ethnic cemeteries. (Ostap Skrypnyk) Plea to publicize more widely the kind of information presented at this session. (Oksana Ensslen) There are resources from the province for this kind of project. On p. 21 of Frances’ survey there are lists of churches according to three categories. Resources in all of these categories are eligible for preservation funding, and that includes funding for documentation. There are also ways to apply to get other churches put into these categories. Alberta Tourism etc. Good to partner with municipalities.

Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project (Planning Conference)
Description
An account of the resource
This year the program initiated Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project. A planning conference was held on 26 January 2008, and the materials are available on the CIUS Religion and Culture website: http://www.ualberta.ca/cius/religion-culture/c-sanctuaryworkshop.htm. The planning conference established the basic parameters of the project: <br /><br />digitizing, as comprehensively as possible, existing records, such as old photographs, paintings, and videos, whether in church, public, or individual possession, for a central digital record to be housed at the University of Alberta;<br /><br /> systematically and comprehensively documenting anew all churches (exterior and interior), paintings, carvings, church vessels, furnishings, banners, vestments, bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in the Ukrainian prairie settlements, including making virtual reality movies;<br /><br /> digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services;<br /><br /> interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches;<br /><br /> linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s);<br /><br /> making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet;<br /><br /> presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form;<br /><br /> also presenting the results at learned conferences and meetings of professional associations (such as the Alberta Museums Association, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Slavists, and the Canadian Historical Association). <br /><br /> This project is timely in two ways. First, it is a response to a crisis. The Ukrainian churches and related monuments in prairie communities are under threat. Many churches are being vandalized, falling into disrepair, or even collapsing. Small and aging congregations are unable to provide the security and maintenance necessary to preserve physical structures. To obtain a record of the sacral marks that Ukrainians made on the prairies, it is necessary to act within this coming decade. Second, the project is a response to an opportunity. We now have a kind of technology that allows us to make many thousands of photographs at low cost, store them in a small space, integrate them in searchable databases, and diffuse them globally. It is envisioned that Sanctuary will bring grantees from Ukraine to Canada to contribute to the project and gain experience from it. The program is applying for grants in order to fund the project.

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 7 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br />An overview of what’s going on in Manitoba. Has provided a cd for each participant.<br />Manitoba did inventories, divided the province into survey districts (number), gave different kinds of building a code (letter). Examples of inventory forms. As they improved the forms, they made it easier for non-architects to use. Sanctuary will need standardized inventory forms, so these examples will be useful. They had a statistical<br />scoring method to find the most important buildings to preserve. [They used paper forms.] They also did individual building studies, area studies, studies of a particular kind. The inventory of Ukrainian churches was turned into a nice coffee table book by Stella Hryniuk.<br />There are lists of municipally and provincially designated heritage sites, including Ukrainian religious structures. EL made a definitive list of Ukrainian religious structures in Manitoba (about 500!).<br />The Manitoba Prairie Churches Initiative got money from Welch’s (50,000 USD). With matching and stuff, they started their project with 200,000 CAD. This is an NGO composed of three people. www.prairiechurches.ca. Online photo gallery organized by ethnicity. Reports also on line.<br />Tourism. EL is involved with tourism. They hold an annual fall field trip. This develops local experts.

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 8 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br /></span>Stella Hryniuk<br />prepared text exists<br />How the book they wrote, Monuments of Faith, developed. In the 1980s there was not only the problem of abandonment, but also vandalism, security, disrepair. For Stella, the destruction by fire of her grandfather’s church was a real wake-up call. The three authors received a large grant from Manitoba to do the book (roughly 10,000 CAD in 1987). The government was interested in funding a project, but not through a faith-based group. The authors hired students and worked on the project for three years. There was a training process. Students usually stayed through two summers. They were passionate. About 2/3 of them are still involved in Ukrainian and Ukrainian Canadian historical projects of some sort to this day. (The students are now already 20 years older.) They identified 140 Ukrainian churches and 20 other East European churches. In the end they did full documentation of 40 churches. Slides of exterior, interior, objects, cemeteries; inventory forms; oral histories; popular histories and brochures; architectural plans (floor plans, elevations). Also, on the side, maps of the areas. Identified all the Winnipeg churches, but most of their churches were rural. They had to rely on local assistance to put up students, etc. Regular reports, updates, communication with govt.<br />Roman Yereniuk<br />slide presentation (analog slides from 1989)<br />We got separate funds for students [like STEP]. They did a second phase in 1993. There are about 40 inches of filing. 5000 slides. They had a system of how to do slides. Over 200 slides per church. They called themselves the Manitoba East European Heritage Society so that they could include Russo-Orthodox, etc. They have assisted parishes with their own parish histories later on. There was a need to break the ice originally in the communities. Did a slide presentation to the parish first to show the kind of work they do. They actually saved a church, the Church of the Resurrection in Dauphin. They recorded plashchanytsi, church books [some have marginal inscriptions], embroideries, church basements.<br />The slides have been well preserved, using the technology then available.<br /><br /><span class="element-text"><a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Outline found in this PDF</a></span>

Looking for a repository for his work.<br />Faith vs. heritage. Funding – can we get the same today? Manageability, duplication. (Frances Swyripa)<br />Modeling a project the way we did made it possible to include volunteers. This is a project with time running out. People are dying, losing their memories. Maybe there’s a 10-year window to do this. (Stella Hryniuk)<br />The students had a guidebook on how to take the photographs, in what order. They had also black velvet for photographing objects. (Roman Yereniuk)<br />Set up a field school in connection with the Folklore Center to work on this project. They would get training in field methodology. (Natalka Kononenko)<br />Maybe this could be done in conjunction with History and Classics. (Frances Swyripa) Or HUCO or Library. (Natalka Kononenko)<br />Oral history at this stage is risky. Memories are jumbled. Parish archives are lost or sitting molding in someone’s basement. Chasing congregational records is not easy. There is little info on material history in church archives. Ukrainian newspapers are useful in this regard, esp. in early years – correspondences about churches. Artistic photography and paintings important, but also documentary archival photography. (Jars Balan)<br />Aerial photos – the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village has some, that are relevant to their own buildings. Provincial govt has internships through Athabasca U, U of Calgary. (Stefan Sokolowski)<br />Ukrainian Village has three churches. They have very detailed reports about them (materials, etc.). Bobersky photographs in Oseredok, Winnipeg. Thinks Ukrainian halls should also be included. Some cemeteries are not related to churches. Not only the prairies but Ontario. Film on Saskatchewan grave maker on YouTube. (Peter Melnycky)<br />We should restrict to religious objects. (Frances Swyripa)<br />Bobersky photos are bizarrely coded and hardly described. U of A did some itinerary of the collection, but it’s not a very usable collection. She is now visiting churches in Alberta and is impressed by some of the archival improvement introduced by Metropolitan Lawrence. The context is very important – the spirituality. There is a large Lipinsky collection looking for a home. (Gloria Romaniuk)<br />UCAMA has black-and-white photos taken by Mr. Jopyk in the 1970s, also paintings by Pani Iwanets (already digitally photographed). Are digital methods safe for preservation? (Michelle Tracey)<br />Since we will be working with young people, students, we have to be aware of distinctions between faith, theology, spirituality. The latter – the personal connection – will interest and motivate students the most today. This was not addressed in their project, although they did have people interested in the institutional church, theology, belief. All of these aspects have to be addressed. More than “religion.” Sometimes there are halls where churches used to be. Winnipeg Tribune photos and descriptions are in U of M archives – valuable stuff there. (Stella Hryniuk)<br />Lots in the consistory archives of the Orthodox church in Winnipeg. Perhaps a proper archive could result from this project. (Sandy Sawchuk) UCAMA is trying to build a safe environment and would be a proper archive in the future. (Michelle Tracey)<br />The Russo-Orthodox are warm, but they will be suspicious. Who is asking? What will it be used for? She herself is connected with this church. She knows that people are not aware of the value of what they have. The project would be a learning experience for people. She has church archives in her own home! (Sylvia Chinery)<br />How should we go about making contact with the rural communities? (Frances Swyripa)<br />Even if we just identify what has been done, it will be a great thing. We must also identify who can help us with this project. We also have to identify the sources of funds. Alberta govt promises money for cultural projects – get them while they’re being offered. (Peter Savaryn)<br />Perhaps compile a list of methodologies to develop a template. Cooperation between projects in Manitoba was important – this project should do the same. And avoid duplication. Don’t redo Ed’s project where Ed’s doing it. Devolution important to management. (Brian Cherwick)<br />Should we put everything on line? (Frances Swyripa)<br />The community will like digital resources, genealogy people, historical background of family. If it’s digitized, it’s available all over. (Anne-Marie Decore)<br />And more.<br />1:30-2:30: Technical Aspects, Part 1<br /><br /><span class="element-text"><a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Outline found in this PDF</a></span></p>

Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project (Planning Conference)
Description
An account of the resource
This year the program initiated Sanctuary: The Spiritual Heritage Documentation Project. A planning conference was held on 26 January 2008, and the materials are available on the CIUS Religion and Culture website: http://www.ualberta.ca/cius/religion-culture/c-sanctuaryworkshop.htm. The planning conference established the basic parameters of the project: <br /><br />digitizing, as comprehensively as possible, existing records, such as old photographs, paintings, and videos, whether in church, public, or individual possession, for a central digital record to be housed at the University of Alberta;<br /><br /> systematically and comprehensively documenting anew all churches (exterior and interior), paintings, carvings, church vessels, furnishings, banners, vestments, bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in the Ukrainian prairie settlements, including making virtual reality movies;<br /><br /> digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services;<br /><br /> interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches;<br /><br /> linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s);<br /><br /> making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet;<br /><br /> presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form;<br /><br /> also presenting the results at learned conferences and meetings of professional associations (such as the Alberta Museums Association, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Slavists, and the Canadian Historical Association). <br /><br /> This project is timely in two ways. First, it is a response to a crisis. The Ukrainian churches and related monuments in prairie communities are under threat. Many churches are being vandalized, falling into disrepair, or even collapsing. Small and aging congregations are unable to provide the security and maintenance necessary to preserve physical structures. To obtain a record of the sacral marks that Ukrainians made on the prairies, it is necessary to act within this coming decade. Second, the project is a response to an opportunity. We now have a kind of technology that allows us to make many thousands of photographs at low cost, store them in a small space, integrate them in searchable databases, and diffuse them globally. It is envisioned that Sanctuary will bring grantees from Ukraine to Canada to contribute to the project and gain experience from it. The program is applying for grants in order to fund the project.

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 12 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br />Change of chair because JPH wanted to continue writing up the discussion.<br />Need to do a survey of what’s already out there. (Ostap Skrypnyk)<br />Churches were torn down, closed, burned down. Catholic church wants to preserve heritage and identity. But it comes down to priorities. From the church’s point of view, the parish community is what is to be served. Sometimes in these small communities, fixing up the church takes up too much time and energy, limiting their faith time. The church is worried about the salvation of the community. The building should be for the community, not the other way around. Sometimes only 5 people at a service, sometimes only 1. The Church would like to have a foundation that would have a lot of money and preserve all the churches, but there is no such thing now. It is also important to preserve the heritage. The minutes of meetings and bills would provide valuable information (minute books and financial records). Clergy are an important source. They go out there, perform services, visit the cemeteries. Metropolitan Lawrence also has many photos and videos of his visits – parishioners give him copies. Now he is being given DVDs of services. Old liturgical services are important. Brazil has a similar experience, though much harder. Brazilians have different carols. Different variants of music. Comparative angles. (Metropolitan Lawrence)<br />Putting too much info on the web could raise security issues. (Oksana) We could restrict access. (Bohdan Hrynyshyn)<br />Need to collect contact information. Not easy at all. In some cases the only person who is in anyway responsible might be the German farmer next door who cuts the grass. Contacts are aging – he reads the obituaries to see if the guys who opened the churches haven’t passed away. (Jars Balan)<br />We tried to record everything in full complexity. It’s too much even for students. We have to work on two levels – a research/archival tier which needs a full database and a public level that has been processed by scholars. (Natalka Kononenko)<br />From Regina. Has a bit of a plan of his own and is looking to merge projects. His project coming from the (Ukrainian Orthodox) church out rather than from scholars. Already when he first began to be interested in these things, he saw ten-inch trees on cemeteries. He would like more technical help, advice about proper documentation. It would be good to be part of a larger, directed project. Not just students but retired professional people. Importance of volunteers. How do we coordinate? avoid duplication? There needs to be some kind of coordinating body laying out a plan of action. Needed: determining the tools, assisting in training. (Yaroslav Lozowchuk)<br />She remembers how the community was split over saving the Portage la Prairie church. Diocese should help with conflict resolution. The best contacts, in her experience, are old women. Excellent materials in Ukraine – archives of Sheptytsky. Archives of Sister Servants also in Ukraine. (Stella Hryniuk)<br />This is a project in lieu of preservation. But many conversations go back to physical preservation. Visual? or also archival? documentation? thorough? or documentation restricted to visual culture. (Frances Swyripa)<br />We need a committee with a representative from each area. Digital storage is a very difficult issue right now. Shortages of digital storage at the U of A. Not just buying, but upkeep, back up. (Natalka Kononenko)<br />We should restrict ourselves to digital, not materials. We can go beyond the university for cheap storage. (Bohdan Hrynyshyn)<br />Need to go through church boards. 6-7 of these generally run with one clergyman so you can have a meeting with reps and the clergyman. Have one team going in, or risk more distrust. (Sylvia Chinery)<br />Her experience – people demanded to be included in the project (historic buildings in 1970s project). (Frances Swyripa)<br />Every medium will have issues. You have to plan resources for update and maintenance of data. Otherwise you will lose things one way or another. Need to plan for that.

<span class="element-text">CIUS conference audio (Part 14 of 16)<br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br /></span>hard copy (printouts from web)<br />Interaction of content and digital development – something that needs to be worked out. Various scholarly disciplines (religious studies, history, art history, musicology, folklore, geography, sociology, ethnic studies, anthropology, architecture), tourism, politics. Librarians and curators will be helpful in developing classifications, subject areas, categories. They have experience in this. Definition of categories will be iterative. Inclusion of disciplines has to be thought out. Think about who your users will be and purposes (research, teaching). You will need a searchable database, not just browsable. If a preservation project, how would a museum deal with it? Take into account the experience of the UCHV. See their lists, procedures. As the content becomes clearer, it will require thinking about the digital end. Clarify what users will want, and how can they access the information they want most effectively? Use of “shopping carts.” You have to figure what is in and what is out (film, photos, etc.). Management – not a project so big that it can’t be done. It has to be sculpted, having firm criteria of what is included, what is not. Clarify site objectives, scope. Possible to start with a process website – who’s involved, results of this conference. Perhaps a need for a wiki site.<br />Financing: federal govt (Canada Heritage Applied Research), Telus New Media Learning Fund, Telus foundation. Because it’s an interprovincial plan it should be eligible for various funding. Multicultural program, no set deadlines. Community Memories program. Gateway Fund. Summer student fund. Heritage Community foundation (managed by Nena Jocic).<br />Websites that have churches – the Manitoba project is good.

A planning conference was held on 26 January 2008, and the materials are available on the CIUS Religion and Culture website: http://www.ualberta.ca/cius/religion-culture/c-sanctuaryworkshop.htm. The planning conference established the basic parameters of the project: <br /><br />digitizing, as comprehensively as possible, existing records, such as old photographs, paintings, and videos, whether in church, public, or individual possession, for a central digital record to be housed at the University of Alberta;<br /><br /> systematically and comprehensively documenting anew all churches (exterior and interior), paintings, carvings, church vessels, furnishings, banners, vestments, bell towers, cemeteries, tombstones, and chapels in the Ukrainian prairie settlements, including making virtual reality movies;<br /><br /> digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services;<br /><br /> interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches;<br /><br /> linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s);<br /><br /> making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet;<br /><br /> presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form;<br /><br /> also presenting the results at learned conferences and meetings of professional associations (such as the Alberta Museums Association, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Slavists, and the Canadian Historical Association). <br /><br /> This project is timely in two ways. First, it is a response to a crisis. The Ukrainian churches and related monuments in prairie communities are under threat. Many churches are being vandalized, falling into disrepair, or even collapsing. Small and aging congregations are unable to provide the security and maintenance necessary to preserve physical structures. To obtain a record of the sacral marks that Ukrainians made on the prairies, it is necessary to act within this coming decade. Second, the project is a response to an opportunity. We now have a kind of technology that allows us to make many thousands of photographs at low cost, store them in a small space, integrate them in searchable databases, and diffuse them globally. It is envisioned that Sanctuary will bring grantees from Ukraine to Canada to contribute to the project and gain experience from it. The program is applying for grants in order to fund the project.

CIUS conference audio (Part 16 of 16) <br /><br />Outline of presentation:<br /><br />What structure? (JPH)<br />Partnerships necessary with Saskatoon and Winnipeg (the Ukrainian centers). Apply for grants in different provinces. We should strike an initiative group. (Jars Balan)<br />We really need to do a much more thorough review of what has been done. The search can be expanded by volunteer labor. (Frances Swyripa)<br />It’s a good idea to get started. Start to show what you will do differently. A quick and easy way to start is to start a website for the project. That way info you do have gets immediately posted. Thomas Nahachewsky’s database is a good place to start. Pilot project will need to concentrate on the new stuff – the training, etc. The project has to decide new material and/or new material. (Marusia Petryshyn)<br />All projects start with an idea. You need a few people – half a dozen at the most. Go slow with an idea. Start in Alberta. Wait for the others. Collect the books. Contact architects, painters. Eventually you also need money. We should contact Teresa, the daughter of Anna Baran. (Peter Savaryn)<br />Hard thoughts: What you do, you do. The rest is just talk. (Nick Ochotta)<br />Establish technical committee. (Ostap Skrypnyk)<br />John Lehr and Ed Ledohowski decided to form a Manitoba Working Group or contact group. Keep everyone aware. Things could be done once we get the technical standards. (Ed Ledohowski)<br />Have the pilot project also collect existing materials. (Marusia Petryshyn)<br />A low tech manual of instruction would be worth developing even now. A preliminary form. Something in hard form. The Manitoba people could produce one fairly quickly. (Stella Hryniuk)<br />What are the legal requirements for putting stuff on web, on databases? Coordinating effort should deal with these issues. (Thomas Nahachewsky)<br />Worried about the scope of the project. Terms of reference. Parish life? List of priests? We can get excited about social history, etc., but it may be too much. First committee needs to set up the terms of reference. (Ostap Skrypnyk)<br />What is the technical architecture of the project? This is not a step-by-step project, but something done in parallel. Lets move and things should come together into a master plan. (Bohdan Hrynyshyn)<br />We will need some official permission/blessing from the consistories to help us, to be partners in reaching the community. (Roman Yereniuk)<br />Archives and other institutions would probably be happy to give us permissions when we provide money and manpower? (Frances Swyripa) We should offer training not only to students but volunteers. (Brian Cherwick)<br />Put up links to the websites that we had today, put up the PowerPoint presentations, Frances’ survey, etc. right from today. (Anne-Marie Decore)<br />In point form:<br />•Obtain blessings of ecclesiastical authorities<br />•Formation of initiative group based in Edmonton/CIUS<br />•Preliminary database of existing materials, projects, archival sources, publications<br />•Establish website for project, chat room, with blog, links to existing sources<br />•Apply for U of A grant<br />•Conduct pilot project<br />•Develop questionnaire/template for gathering material<br />•Develop training program for fieldworkers – students and volunteers<br />•Develop training program for fieldworkers – students and volunteers<br />•Identify potential partners, repositories<br />•Establish technical committee – architecture of database<br />•Establish provincial working groups<br />•Develop manual for local congregations/groups (low tech handbook)<br />•Need for legal direction/copyright advice<br />•Establish terms of reference defining scope of the project, its short-term and long-term objectives<br />•Need to work on parallel thrusts<br /><br /><span class="element-text"><a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Outline found in this PDF</a></span>

Description
An account of the resource
The book Politics of Multiculturalism is the memoir of an academic whose expertise in the education of Canadian minorities led him to take on a major political role in the Canadian multicultural movement. Born in the Ukrainian bloc settlement of east-central Alberta and educated at the universities of Alberta, Minnesota, and Harvard, Manoly R. Lupul combined the outlook of a liberal secular humanist with a conviction that modern society could be enriched by the cultural potential of ethnicity. His concern for the expansion of minority linguistic and cultural rights in Canada was sharpened by a direct encounter with the policy of Russification in Ukraine during a sabbatical leave in the late 1960s.
Dr. Lupul’s involvement in Canadian multiculturalism began with the drafting and passage of Alberta’s first school legislation for bilingual programs (1971); similar laws were subsequently enacted in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. He went on to serve as an executive member of the Canadian Consultative Council on Multiculturalism and a member of the Alberta Cultural Heritage Council. In 1976 Dr. Lupul became the founding director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta, the first publicly funded institution of its kind outside Ukraine. He contributed significantly to the development of the multiculturalism section of the Canadian constitution (1982). This memoir, based not only on personal writings and recollections but also on extensive documentation, brings together much information previously unavailable in print. In his frank account, Dr. Lupul offers unrivalled first-person insight into the aspirations that gave rise to Canada’s policy of multiculturalism and the interplay of forces that shaped and blunted its development. The book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian culture and politics and, more generally, in the problem of promoting minority-group rights in democratic societies.
