The Weekly's 1999 articles now available on its website

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - The full texts of all articles published in The Ukrainian Weekly during 1999 - 1,556 in all - are now available on the newspaper's official website.

The Ukrainian Weekly Archive opened its official website at http://www.ukrweekly.com/ on August 20, 1998. (The paper's first appearance on the Internet, however, came much earlier as in July 1995 excerpts of each week's top stories began to be featured on the Tryzub website.)

The Weekly's official website, which now contains nearly 7,000 full-text articles, is constantly being expanded.

The website is dedicated to archival materials published in the newspaper since its founding in 1933, among them The Ukrainian Weekly's inaugural issue dated October 6, 1933, two issues devoted to the 1960 visit of Nikita Khrushchev to the U.S., the special issue published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group (1986), and special issues dedicated to the 50th (1983) and the 60th (1993) anniversaries of The Ukrainian Weekly and the centennial of the Ukrainian National Association (1994).

The Weekly's website also contains the largest collection of materials on the Internet dedicated to the Great Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine. The section was unveiled in 1998 on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Famine-Genocide.

Year-in-review issues of The Weekly from the years 1976-1999 (and the "Decade in Review" published at the end of 1979), as well as issues reporting on the Chornobyl accident (1986), Ukraine's declaration of sovereignty (1990), its proclamation of independence and national referendum on independence (both 1991) also are found on the archive site.

The archive also contains full texts of all issues published in 1996 through 1999, as well as excerpts of the top news stories published each week during the current year. All sections of the site are searchable.

The Ukrainian Weekly provides this website of archival materials as a community service. The site is maintained by the newspaper's production and editorial staffs.

Donations to support the work of this site and other projects of The Ukrainian Weekly are gladly accepted; they will be acknowledged on the website as well as on the pages of The Weekly.

Contributions may be sent to: The Ukrainian Weekly, 2200 Route 10, P.O. Box 280, Parsippany, NJ 07054
