P r o j e c t S p o t l i g h t : Digitization of Gareth Jones Diaries The UNWLA remains steadfast in its commitment to promote awareness about the genocide of Ukraini- ans in 1932–1933, known as the Holodomor. Joseph Stalin's attempt to force Ukrainian farmers onto collective farms grew into a massive man- made famine when Soviet soldiers were ordered to raid homes and take away every crumb of food. Villages and cities died of hunger, while the West remained unaware of the tragedy. Reporters like Walter Duranty simply spun the Soviet narrative and denied that massive death even happened. Welsh reporter Gareth Jones was one of the few who shared the truth in British newspapers and periodicals of the time. Gareth Jones’s diaries are a truly independent verification of what was arguably Stalin’s greatest atrocity. The idea to digitize the diaries was first proposed to a small group of UNWLA members by Professor Lubomyr Luciuk of the Royal Military College of Canada in 2018. The diaries provide insight into Jones's travels and the people he met, and graphic accounts of the con- ditions of the Holodomor. Digitization of the Gareth Jones papers ensures that the public has access to the truth and horrors of the Holodomor, so that the atrocity will never be forgotten. T he digital collection is available online through the National Library of Wales website, the Library of Congress, the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, Stanford University, the University of Toronto, and Cambridge University. Completion of the project was initially planned for May 2020. Unfortunately, the global pandemic de- layed the project to late 2021, and f urther COVID- 19 breakouts postponed the actual commemoration to May 2022. Annual Report 2021 page 17
