Herman Rosenthal, the first chief of the Slavonic Division, was born in what is now Latvia and laid a solid foundation for this collection. In the 1920s and 1930s, the NYPL had an exchange partnership with the Latvian State Library. The Library also holds Latvian materials published during post World War II years, both from the Communist-dominated homeland and those printed in the West. At present, the NYPL is the lead library when it comes to the development of the Latvian collection within the framework of ReCAP cooperative collection development.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"23 1","pages":"392 - 431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46887407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, except for the transitional decade of the 90s, and with several frozen conflicts, the new states that emerged in the post-Soviet space embarked upon “a peaceful authoritarian democratic” reimagining of independence. Some have even admired the peaceful destruction of the USSR in comparison to Yugoslavia’s violent disintegration. However, the narrative about the peaceful secessions does not provide an authentic glimpse of what was yet to come almost thirty years later. Until the 2020 protests against President Lukashenko’s dubious victory, Belarus was relatively “calm,” with a blended economic system reminiscent of elements from the Communist past. The present article discusses how at UC Berkeley Library we archived peaceful protests in Belarus from August of 2020-through March of 2021.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"23 1","pages":"447 - 460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47866108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having one edition of such a bibliography is already a particular achievement and an instance of recognition. Having several editions of a bibliography, continuously revised and expanded, is a genuine rarity. Such is the case with Paul Robert Magocsi, professor of history and political science at the University of Toronto and an authority on Ukrainian and Carpatho-Rusyn history. Edited by Ksenya Kiebuzinski, Paul Robert Magocsi: A Bibliography and Commentaries, serves as an exhaustive presentation of the renowned scholar and his substantial corpus of scholarly legacy. The volume under review is scrupulously edited and expanded since its latest 2011 edition. In its new, fourth iteration, the volume begins with the editor’s preface, which is followed by introductions from three previous editions: by Bohdan Budowowycz (1985), John-Paul Himka (2000), and Kiebuzinski (2010). These introductions are, in a sense, a barometer of the historian’s passionate engagement with his multifaceted scholarly interests. Each introduction sheds light on biographical and professional aspects of Magocsi’s life and activity and covers a little over a decade of the scholar’s thriving intellectual trajectory. Magocsi’s scholarly contributions are fascinating in their wide range and scope. The bibliography lists 878 publications, in twenty-one languages, spanning the period from 1964 to early 2021 (p. 1–156) in the fields of history, sociolinguistics, ethnic studies bibliography, and cartography – including his contributions to bibliography, cartography, encyclopedias, and historical guides. Not only are publications listed, but so are the references to reviews of monographs. The first chapter lists eighty writings (books, articles, and encyclopedia entries) about Paul Robert Magocsi (p. 157–166) and is followed by “Commentaries in Periodicals and in the Media” (p. 167–278). The entries provide quotes from various writings about, and reviews of, Magocsi’s work. Additionally, the book features facsimiles of book covers for projects Magocsi was involved with, in multiple languages; including works published in English and in translation. When possible, the cover designer’s name is listed; a minor, yet significant detail. Of special mention is a short statistical note which includes five best-selling works by Magocsi. A cluster of articles dedicated to the legacy of professor Magocsi appeared in the Nationalities Papers in 2011. Contributors complimented the historian’s scholarly virtues and intellectual courage, mixed with his personal necessity and ever-present urgency to serve the profession and broaden the field.

Billington launched an innovative digital library project, Meeting of Frontiers, built around the theme of the parallel experiences of the American West and the Russian Far East and Siberia and the meeting of the frontiers in Alaska. The project flourished until 2005, and digitized rare collections at more than thirty libraries and archives in Russia and the United States. The project was left unfinished, however, as funding ran out and the Library shifted to new priorities, including the development of a World Digital Library (WDL). In 2016–2018, a small group of Library staff members, faced with the likelihood that both WDL and Frontiers would be shut down in the post-Billington era, mounted a successful effort to save the remarkable Frontiers content for permanent use by researchers and general users.","PeriodicalId":35387,"journal":{"name":"Slavic and East European Information Resources","volume":"23 1","pages":"320 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41863566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
