New Contributions to the History of the Ukrainian Language
Ukrainian Language
Ukrainian Grammar
Historiography of Ukraine
Imperial Russia
Michael Moser's New Contributions to the History of the Ukrainian Language is a collection of scholarly essays that examine the development of Ukrainian from its beginnings to the present. In 1863 the imperial Russian minister of the interior, Petr Valuev, issued a directive according to which Ukrainian is "a language that did not, does not, and cannot exist," but time has not borne out his verdict. As these collected essays demonstrate, Ukrainian is a language with an intriguing past, present, and future. Contrary to widespread belief, its historical roots are as deep as those of any other Slavic language. The development of the Ukrainian language, like any other, has been a complex interplay of autochthonous factors and external influences. Moser discusses selected aspects of the history of Ukrainian-Church Slavonic, Ukrainian-Polish, and Ukrainian-Russian language contacts as reflected in Ukrainian written sources. He shows that the elaboration of Modern Standard Ukrainian was the result of intricate efforts of codification carried out under specific historical circumstances. The essays address specific problems of the history of the Ukrainian language in Galicia, Transcarpathia, and North America and discuss the impact of government policy on the more recent history of the Ukrainian language.

On March 20, 1979, he spoke on "Olena Teliha's Great World." The speaker reminisced about his personal encounters with the poetess and examined her work in the light of the criticism of V. Derzhavyn, Iu. Sherekh, B. Boichuk and B. Rubchak. By illustrating his points with direct quotations from O. Teliha's works, he showed how these critics were often in error. The seminar consisted of three parts: (1) personal reminiscences, (2) an analysis of the author's work, and finally (3) a discussion of her tragic death.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The final Institute seminar of the first term was held on December 5 when Dr. Yar Slavutych of the Department of Slavic Languages, University of Alberta, spoke on "P. Crath and T. Pavlychenko: Nationalism vs. Socialism in Ukrainian-Canadian Literature." The speaker examined the numerous poetic (seven collections) and two scholarly works of the active socialist Paul Crath [Pavlo Krat], who came to Canada in 1907 and proceeded to spread revolutionary ideas, departing from socialism to become a Protestant minister. As an ardent Ukrainian patriot, P. Crath attacked the Russian tsarist regime and yearned for an independent Ukraine during World War I. The speaker then discussed the only book of T. Pavlychenko ' s poetry Dukh natsii (Spirit of Nation). This author was a professor of the University of Saskatchewan and a known nationalist leader in Canada. In his poetry the author maintained that the strong are victorious and reject laws of higher justice. Only the cultivation of a mighty will and biological force can assure liberation from captivity. This applied both to the biological world and to nations in their historical development. The speaker presented Crath and Pavlychenko as talented poets who brought new and interesting ideas to Ukrainian-Canadian literature, and who deserve deeper and more comprehensive study.

Multiculturalism

Separatism
The conference on "Ukrainian Canadians , Multiculturalism, and Separatism: An Assessment" was held at the University of Alberta on September 9-11. Organized and sponsored by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, it featured papers by the Minister of State for Cultural Development from the Parti Quebecois government, a former commissioner of the federal government, and prominent Ukrainian-Canadian academics. Dr. M. R. Lupul, director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, opened the conference on Friday ’evening, September 9, with remarks on the purpose and objectives of the conference. The Institute, he declared, "only provides the forum for discussion; it itself is no oracle. If the topic under discussion has profound political implications that does not render the Institute itself political; all it shows is that the Institute can be relevant to the issues of our time." The Honorable Camille Laurin, Minister of State for Cultural Development, Province of Quebec, who delivered the opening address to approximately 250 people, explained the objectives of the Parti Quebecois in the struggle for self-determination for the French in Quebec and termed the federal government's bilingual policy a failure. Dr. Laurin was questioned by Professor Walter S. Tarnopolsky, Osgoode Hall, York University, and Professor Bohdan Bociurkiw, Department of Political Science, Carleton University. Concern about the status of ethnocultural groups in Quebec was prominent in the questions and in the discussion from the floor which followed. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 1 (Fall 1977)

Audio recorded from CIUS conference. On 6-8 September 1991, CIUS marked the Ukrainian Canadian centenary with a conference on selected aspects of Ukrainian life in Canada in the years between 1924 and 1951. Coinciding with the release of Orest Martynowych's landmark monograph, Ukrainians in Canada: The Formative Years, 1891-1924, the conference was designed as a first step toward creating a research base for writing the interwar history of Ukrainians in Canada. This period, in contrast to the well-studied pioneer immigration and prairie settlement experience, has received relatively little scholarly attention, despite it being so critical to both the crystallizing Ukrainian Canadian community and ongoing integration into Canadian life. Accordingly, it was CIUS’s plan to attract papers on as wide an array of topics as possible, avoiding broad generalities in favour of more limited but illuminating profiles and case studies. Three speakers—Alexander Baran and Oleh Gerus, of the Department of History at the University of Manitoba, and Russel Moroziuk of Concordia University—addressed questions relating to the Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox churches, including the role of Catholic Action in the former and Father Semen Sawchuk in the latter. Russel Moroziuk is the first speaker who describes institutional restructuring that divided Ukrainian Canadian society along Catholic and Orthodox lines during the interwar period.

CIUS conference audio from the final panel of the conference on the topic "Multiculturalism and Separatism: The Search for a Ukrainian Consensus." The panelists included Professors Bociurkiw, Myhul, Serbyn, Tarnopolsky and Mr. Petryshyn. A consensus was reached on three points: that Ukrainians in Canada should support the right of the French in Quebec to self-determination within a federal framework; that further dialogue on the topic of separatism vis a vis multiculturalism was necessary; and that the involvement and support of Ukrainian Canadians from all walks of life was necessary for multiculturalism to survive.

Roughly 92 GC churches, 74 Ukrainian Orthodox, 24 OCA, 22 Russian Orthodox in Alberta. You can zoom in on Google Maps. Now most signs give English-only names. This poses some problems. Likes to shoot in natural light. He has them shut off all artificial light. He uses 2 dpi for the web. He shoots in RAW format. He does huge pictures – they could be poster size. Storage is now cheap, about a dollar a gig. High resolution aerial photographs of UCHV, with churches marked by Google Map. Importance of good documentation. Spasa Moskalyk, parish founded 1902, church 1924. In bad condition. Wonderful acoustics (someone was playing tsymbaly when he visited). Only the bell tower has been repaired. Weather and lighting: the working season is April-September. Manual setting. High resolution (300+ dpi). Variety of lenses. Limited knowledge of local history, no information in the public domain, disappearance of Ukrainian language. Absence of Ukrainian culture (esp. vyshyvani rushnyky). Single repository that can be accessed from everywhere in the world. Model of information structure. Structure attributes. Architecture model “web cloud.” E-document storage, databases, website, administrative budget. Benefits – documentation. Outline found in this PDF

Part 12: Open Discussion Directed by Frances Swyripa
CIUS conference audio (Part 12 of 16) Outline of presentation: Change of chair because JPH wanted to continue writing up the discussion. Need to do a survey of what’s already out there. (Ostap Skrypnyk) 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) Putting too much info on the web could raise security issues. (Oksana) We could restrict access. (Bohdan Hrynyshyn) 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) 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) 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) 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) 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) 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) We should restrict ourselves to digital, not materials. We can go beyond the university for cheap storage. (Bohdan Hrynyshyn) 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) Her experience – people demanded to be included in the project (historic buildings in 1970s project). (Frances Swyripa) 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.

Part 14: Digital Databases: Examples and Sources of Funding
CIUS conference audio (Part 14 of 16) Outline of presentation: hard copy (printouts from web) 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. 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). Websites that have churches – the Manitoba project is good. Leopolis. Outline found in this PDF

Part 14: Ukraine's archival sources for studying Ukrainians in Canada, 1920–1939
Bibliography
Audio recorded from CIUS conference. On 6-8 September 1991, CIUS marked the Ukrainian Canadian centenary with a conference on selected aspects of Ukrainian life in Canada in the years between 1924 and 1951. Coinciding with the release of Orest Martynowych's landmark monograph, Ukrainians in Canada: The Formative Years, 1891–1924, the conference was designed as a first step toward creating a research base for writing the interwar history of Ukrainians in Canada. This period, in contrast to the well-studied pioneer immigration and prairie settlement experience, has received relatively little scholarly attention, despite it being so critical to both the crystallizing Ukrainian Canadian community and ongoing integration into Canadian life. Accordingly, it was CIUS’s plan to attract papers on as wide an array of topics as possible, avoiding broad generalities in favour of more limited but illuminating profiles and case studies. Leonid Leshchenko of the Institute for the Study of Social and Economic Problems of Foreign Countries at the Academy of Sciences, Kyiv, discussed Ukraine's archival sources for studying Ukrainians in Canada, 1920–1939.
