 INTERVIEW: Marko Stech speaks about Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine project (10/12/03)
This was the goal and purpose of the English-language Encyclopedia of Ukraine prepared by CIUS in cooperation with the Shevchenko Scientific Society (France) and supported financially by the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies.
The five-volume encyclopedia was published between 1984 and 1993 in Toronto, and distributed to the majority of important libraries and institutions, and it can also be found in the homes of thousands of individuals.
The printed volumes of the five-volume encyclopedia are available in many libraries and in many private homes, but still, in order to be able to use this information, you have to be in the place where these five large books are physically accessible and you have to hold them in your hands.

 Curkowskyj Foundation supports Internet encyclopedia (01/12/03)
This project was conceived as a successor to the five-volume Encyclopedia of Ukraine (University of Toronto Press, 1984-1993), a joint venture of the CIUS and the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Western Europe that was generously supported by the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies (CFUS).

"We consider the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine to be one of the most crucial undertakings in Ukrainian scholarship and education," said Dr. Roman Curkowskyj, president of the foundation.

The other possibility is to arrange for a periodic SMTP mail transfer from the exchange host to another, local SMTP exchange host which has been queuing all the outbound mail.
