The University of Alberta’s Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) has launched a website that provides free access to a number of digitized publications about Ukrainians in Canada.

The online resources on the website that will interest genealogists include:
• 33 books published by CIUS Press, consisting mainly of out-of-print books and books on Ukrainians in Canada. One of the publications is a collection of essays, Loyalists in Conflict: Ukrainians in Canada during the Great War.
• 65 research reports, consisting largely of descriptions of archival collections, rare bibliographies, and other guides to researchers, and including British Foreign Office Files on Ukraine and Ukrainians.
• All of the back issues of the Journal of Ukrainian Studies, CIUS’ academic journal.
According to The Ukrainian Weekly, “Plans are also being made to digitize collections of important historical documents that have never been previously available in digital format, including British Foreign Office documents relating to Ukraine from the years 1917-1948.”
The Digital Archive Project of the CIUS was developed in close cooperation with the University of Alberta Libraries and the Arts Resource Centre. The goal of the initiative is to digitize, systematize, and describe the core publications of the institute that have been produced over the last 40 years, since the founding of CIUS in 1976.
