The Weekly's 2000 articles now available on its website

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - The full texts of all 53 issues of The Ukrainian Weekly published during the year 2000 are now available online at www.ukrweekly.com, the newspaper's official website.

Included are 1,740 stories (that's not counting items in Newsbriefs) published during the course of the entire year. In comparison, in 1999 The Weekly published 1,556 articles.

The Ukrainian Weekly Archive opened its official website 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 10,000 full-text articles, is constantly being expanded.

The 2000 issues include 39 Ukrainian National Association Forum pages, 115 letters to the editor and 86 articles in the UKELODEON section.

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. 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 published since 1976 when that feature was inaugurated (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 now contains full texts of all issues published in 1996 through 2000, as well as excerpts of the top news stories published each week during the current year. All sections of the site are searchable. As of the end of November 2000, The Ukrainian Weekly registered a milestone in hits: 100,000.

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.
