WE WISH THE BEST WITH THE COMING CHRIST MAS HOLIDAYS AND THE NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR READERS, COLLABORATORS, WELL-WISHERS, AND AS EVERY YEAR, TO OUR CRITICS. Editors and Administration of “Our Life” D e ar M ad am Editor, It is with extreme pleasure that Br. 72 of Soyuz Ukrainok is making a donation of $200 towards the “Our Life Press Fund." Even though we are a bilingual branch, and the majority of our members cannot read Ukrainian, we feel that under your excellent supervision and with the con tinued support and cooperation of all the UNWLA branches, perhaps the English section will eventually be enlarged. In this way all the members would benefit from the very informative and well written magazine. May Br. 72 also take this opportunity to extend its very best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your staff and to all UNWLA members. Sincerely, Olga Liteplo Pres. Br. 72 Irene Zielyk attended Manor College in Philadelphia and later took art courses at the University of Connecti cut. She studied painting with Mychailo Moroz. Irene Zielyk stated that she prefers painting with oils and that she usually paints scenes from nature. Throughout her painting career, Irene Zielyk has had several individual exhibits and has taken part in several group exhibits. A UKRAINIAN PHOTO DOCUMENTATION PROJECT A Statement by Lydia Hladka, President of the N.J. UNWLA Re glonal Council at the UNWLA Executive Board meeting In New York City, May 26-27, 1979 The UNWLA, in keeping with its goal of helping the Ukrainian Museum in New York fulfill its goals, now proposes the following: the creation of a Center for Photo Documentation of the culture, tradition and daily life of the Ukrainian settlement in the U.S., especially of its pioneer phase. In connection with the circular of UNWLA’s Mu seum and Arts Chairwoman entitled "A Contest of Ethnological Photographs from the Ukrainian Settle ment in America,” I would like to make a few practical suggestions as to carrying out the photo-collecting phase of the project. (I am also submitting a bibliography prepared by professionals in the field for those individuals who will work on the project). Cornell Capa, the director of the International Center for Photography, has written this about the significance of photography: “Photography is the most serious contemporary art form; it is the most vital, effective and universal means of documenting facts and ideas among people and nations.” A photograph can faithfully portray an object, situation or individual, there by giving us an insight into our past, as well as become a source of material for future historians of our community life in America. The question arises: Where and how to find such photographs? Although there are some people who en joy collecting and preserving photographs and some who even hope to preserve them for the eventual use of the community, there is always the danger that such collections might be lost when that individual departs from us, or when enthusiasm for collecting wanes. On the other hand, there are some people who never even realize the historical value of the photo collections they have on hand. Our first source, is of course, the early settlers themselves, especially community activists and their descendants. An effort should be made to obtain photographs for our collection from these pioneers and their children, especially the earliest settlers of Pennsylvania mining towns. From experience with organizing similar exhibits in our Region, I can state that these photographs will be given freely for a museum collection. In this period of “searching for roots”, people are glad to be part of a major documentation effort. They realize that their photos will be of greater value in a public collection than in a personal family album. Other sources of photos are old photographic establishments or professional photographers in the community. There are also Ukrainian institutions such as national homes, churches and schools. Other sources are public libraries, museums and photographic Ірина Зєлик Півонії. Олія I. Zielyk: Peonies. Oil. Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
