UNWLA HISTORY PROJECT by MARTHA BOHACHEVSKY CHOMIAK The longer evenings of fall and winter and the family-oriented holidays of the season nudge us toward nostalgia and reminiscences. This is a good time to remind ourselves that the May Convention of the UNWLA resolved to prepare our organization to mark its 75th anniversary by producing as comprehensive a history of the UNWLA as we can. The convention books are a treasurer trove of information, and our records and publications yield their expected story, but no real history can be complete without the stories of the individuals who made and make up the organization. We need the human element to round out the genuine story of an organization that depended and depends on individuals. We also need to place ourselves and our organization within the broader American context as well as within the Ukrainian-American community. An informal setting, with small groups or even on a one-on-one basis, usually creates the best climate to engage in a conversation that will elicit the most information. A conversation is the best way to begin to draw out your counterpart. Start with little things and then feel your way through. I suggest taping these conversations, but taking careful and complete notes is also useful. There are many questions that can elicit interesting information. What is your most vivid memory from your experience with the community? Who was the most memorable person that you worked with? Why? What do you remember as the most significant work of the UNWLA? How did the UNWLA interact with other community organizations? Ukrainian organizations? Women’s groups? Why did you choose to work in a women’s organization? Were you mainly interested in programs for children? A social outlet? An opportunity for self-expression? A chance to learn crafts you did not want to learn at home? What did you find most satisfying about your work in the UNWLA? A relucant interviewee might respond best to an unusual first question. Try something in the vein of “What did you find most irritating about working in the Ukrainian community? It would be very helpful if you could transcribe tapes of the conversation or submit a complete copy of your notes. In either case, please make certain you identify participants fully, providing as much biographical information as you can. If possible, include a photograph of participants. I am looking forward to seeing, hearing and using the information you gather. And our children and grandchildren will thank us for giving them a glimpse into the lives of their ancestors. Please send all material, including documents, photographs (labeled, if possible, or simply as is) to my attention at the UNWLA offices or to Our Life.
