Ukrainian News/Українські Bіcті was published in Edmonton between 1928 and 2017. It was a Ukrainian-language publication until the 1980s, when it changed to a bilingual English-Ukrainian format. This newspaper is a wonderful resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of Edmonton’s Ukrainian community. The Ukrainian News was first digitized and made available on the Internet Archive in 2023. This year we uploaded a second batch.
Included in our second batch of uploads is this earliest edition we have digitized: Vol. 10 (1937), numbers 1-52. Those of us who can’t read Ukrainian can enjoy getting a sense of the culture of the 30’s through the ads and other visuals!
This digitization project is carried out with the publisher’s permission and in collaboration with the Kule Folklore Centre.
See also the growing Ukrainian Studies collection for a wide array of digitized materials related to Ukrainian culture in North America.
