Fortunately, the UHA has been prolific in its documentative scholarship. Ukrainskyi Istoryk, founded by Dr. [Lubomyr Wynar] in 1963, eventually became the official UHA journal. Dr. Wynar also stated that the UHA has published more than 100 that have appeared in Ukraine and in the West, both in Ukrainian and English. First established in the United States, the UHA spread to Canada, Europe and finally Ukraine where, after the 1990 Congress of the International Association of Ukrainian Studies, branches of the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Ukrainian Historical Association soon mushroomed in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipropetrovske, Chernivtsi, Odesa, Drohobych, Kharkiv, Ostroh, Uzhhorod and other cities. Their existence as independent bodies in cooperation with universities is a factor that greatly strengthens the influence of the UHA on current historical scholarship in Ukraine. For this reason, the First International Congress of Ukrainian Historians, which took place at the University of Chernivtsi in May, will provide the first opportunity for historians from various countries to discuss the current state of Ukrainian historical scholarship and the future tasks of Ukrainian historiography on the threshold of the new millennium. With the UHA as the main initiator, the congress is organized in cooperation with various scholarly institutions and universities in Ukraine and the diaspora.

WASHINGTON - The [Omelan Antonovych] and Tetiana Antonovych Foundation presented its awards for excellence in Ukrainian literature and scholarship to writer Oksana Zabuzhko and historian Lubomyr Wynar. And, at the foundation's annual awards ceremony held on November 20 at the Ukrainian Embassy here, it also received an award for its founder from the government of Ukraine. Dr. Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak, who chairs the award selection committee, presented the first of the two Antonovych awards to Ms. Zabuzhko, a widely known and respected writer in Ukraine and abroad. She was cited for the originality of her book about Lesia Ukrayinka, \"Notre Dame d'Ukraine: a Ukrainian in the Conflict of Mythologies\" (2007), which the foundation characterized as the \"culmination of her series of scholarly works on the development of the Ukrainian identity within European culture.\" Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko, who along with Ukrainian American historian Lubomyr Wynar received the Antonovych awards for excellence in Ukrainian literature and scholarship, expresses her hope that Ukrainian scholarship in Ukraine and its diaspora will merge in the near future.

AUSTIN, Tex. - November - \"Lystopad\" - the month of the falling leaves. A scent of crispness in the air forecasting the onset of cold weather, and the autumn sun guided travelers to Soyuzivka for a reunion of the graduates and former students of the Ukrainian \"Gymnasium\" (high school) in the Displaced Persons Camp Orlyk in Berchtesgaden, Germany. The event was to commemorate and to honor the 50th anniversary of the last graduating class of the camp in 1949. After registration on Saturday morning, the participants viewed exhibits of the gymnasiia and DP camp life memorabilia, which included books authored by a former professor, photo albums and diaries documenting events at the gymnasium from 1947 through 1949. Among some unusual items on display was a hand-crafted suitcase, fashioned out of cardboard, covered on the outside with white sacking materials, and lined inside with Christmas wrapping paper depicting red candles on a golden background. In this small suitcase Olha Hladyshovska-Sawchuk carried her belongings in transit to the United States. Surrounded by colorful photos of Berchtesgaden vistas, a poster of the 1949 \"matura\" candidates was displayed, as well as paintings and books authored by the graduates during their professional careers. Roman Sawycky, representing the first class, remembered the strict discipline prevailing in the life of the younger students. Strong disciplinary tongue lashings made a lasting impression on the young lad when he learned that it was better to have been called affectionately a \"mushka\" (little fly) than a \"vosh\" (louse) for transgressions. Larissa Zubal-Bilaniuk, representing the kindergarten in Berchtesgaden, promised to organize a reunion in 2010.
