Brama website announces offerings

RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Brama Gateway Ukraine, located at http://www.brama.com/, has announced the completion of its first eight months of operation. Launched on May 4, 1997, as the product of a merger of two other websites, Infomeister-Ukrainian and Ukrainian Law, Brama (which means gate or gateway in Ukrainian), in keeping with its origins, continues to be in the vanguard among Ukraine/Ukrainian-related sites.

Focusing on Ukraine and Ukrainians throughout the world, Brama has thorough and searchable offerings in the realm of arts, culture, business, computing/Cyrillic software, fun/humor, law, news, travel, the government of Ukraine, the Ukrainian diaspora, as well as Ukraine itself.

In addition to providing broad information and software, the site is host to many organizations and individuals, including businesses situated in Ukraine, government agencies of Ukraine, and Ukrainian-oriented artists, professional organizations, museums, institutes, libraries, theater, music and dance companies with select links to other resources.

Finally, as much as possible, the site presents its offerings in two languages - English and Ukrainian, an attribute that no other website can claim.

Brama's website offerings in these first months of operation include the debut of the complete 19,000-volume library catalogue of the Shevchenko Scientific Society of America (located in New York City), a collection devoted to all aspects of Ucrainica. This collection has proven to be more popular than was initially expected with individuals accessing this information from all parts of the world.

There has been solid growth in viewership attributable to the content of the Brama site, increasing interest in Ukraine and Ukrainians, and the growth of the Internet.

Brama also offers timely business news and showcases potential investment opportunities.

Brama's focus continues to be twofold: to foster economic development with and within Ukraine, and to participate in the dissemination and evolution of Ukrainian culture throughout the world in both traditional and non-traditional settings.
