Title A name given to the resource 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: 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; 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; digitizing all historic recordings of church music from the parishes and videorecording liturgical services; interviewing on site (priest, caretaker, parishioners) and interviewing artists and architects who worked on the churches; linking the collected materials in a searchable database(s); making most of the material available to the public and to scholars worldwide on the Internet; presenting the results of our studies in the parish communities as lectures and in printed form; 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). 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.

Title A name given to the resource Part 5: Graveyards Subject The topic of the resource Canadian Prairies Church Religion and Culture Program Description An account of the resource CIUS conference audio (Part 5 of 16) Outline of presentation: Churchyards and graveyards. Renewal – examples of renewed cemeteries. They often have interesting historical information reproduced (terminology, cross shape). Physical decay. Wooden crosses are endangered. Renewal and loss. When things are restored and destroy the old original, English inscriptions over Ukrainian originals, for example. Mistranslations – loss of meaning. Continuity. An interesting example. Examples of preservation and enhancement. Some grave markers give information on immigration history. Interesting information on last names. 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. Who were the craftsmen who made crosses and markers? The kinds of crosses used tell their own story, markers of Bukovinians and Galicians, Catholics and Orthodox. [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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=501FiHsZobc -- Peter Melnycky] <a href="https://cius-archives.ca/items/show/2172">Outline found in this PDF</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CIUS Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available CIUS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource January 26, 2008 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource John Sokolowski Language A language of the resource English Alberta Archives Canada Cemeteries Chapels Churches Culture Digitization Documentation Project Graveyards Heritage Icons John Sokolowski Manitoba Prairies Primary Sources Religion Saskatchewan Tombstones Ukrainian Canadians Ukrainian Studies
