Ukrainian Periodical Bibliographies
As is the case with monographs, periodical publications for Ukraine can often be tracked, at least in part, in foreign bibliographies. The Russian, Austrian and Polish bibliographies can be very useful if you are working in a collection that does not have strong Ukrainian bibliographic holdings. Catalogs such as the National Library of Russia can be very helpful in these situations. Those sources that have geographic or language indexes are especially helpful in tracking publishing patterns in general. Since Ukrainian was not allowed as the publishing language during many periods a language index is often not helpful. When searching for verification of specific titles, most comprehensive biblioraphies will be useful. The Russian bibliographies will most commonly have the Ukrainian titles translated into Russian even when the journals were being published in Ukrainian. However, some of the most comprehensive sources have no geographic or linguistic organization. Therefore, Lisovskii will be helpful, albeit somewhat difficult to use as it has no true index by place of publication or language. In order to find information on a Ukrainian title in this source the scholar would have to have the name of the journal from the beginning. For the period from 1900 to 1916 the Russian source Bibliografiia periodicheskikh izdanii Rossii can be used to identify titles published in Ukraine as it contains a geographical index in volume 4. The Soviet bibliography Periodicheskaia pechat' SSSR 1917-1949 has an index by language but some titles will have been censored. Having said this, it is also important to look for changes in bibliographic publications. One useful trend in periodical bibliographies for Ukraine is the appearance in recent years of several annotated bibliographies on Ukrainian periodicals. They are often geographically limited, but provide detailed information on the publications for the regions covered. Bibliographies

All publications focused on Ukraine are included here regardless of language. There are titles in Russian, German, and Polish.

Litopys
zhurnal'nykhstatei. Kharkiv: Knyzhkova palata Ukrainy. Published twice monthly since 1936 this series is the Ukrainian general index to periodicals. This publication is part of the national bibliography, one of several subseries of the main series Litopys Knyh. It is not intended as a comprehensive index of all periodicals published in Ukraine. Rather, it selectively indexes major academic and popular titles, listing their contents by subject categories. Issues include at the beginning of the publication a list of the periodicals indexed. All subject areas are included from astrophysics to politics. It is a rich source of information for anyone seeking periodical articles from the twentieth century on about any topic. There is also an author index in each issue.
Litopys
hazetnykh statei. Also published twice a month since 1937 this is the newspaper counterpart of Litopys zhurnal'nykh statei. The arrangement is very similar to that of the periodical index. All articles are arranged by subject and each issue has an index of authors. There is, unfortunately, no list of the titles indexed in the individual issues. Still, this is a very valuable source when seeking retrospective materials published in the press, particularly as, in the past, newspapers did not generally have their own published indexes. When seeking coverage of topical issues this source is often the only way to identify specific articles that appeared. This publication is part of the national bibliography, one of several subseries of the main series Litopys Knyh. Bibliographies

This
is a list of the newspapers, journals, almanacs and other types of periodical
publications issued in or about Ukraine between 1816 and 1916 and from 1917- 1945.
The titles listed here reflect the holdings in the periodical archives of the
Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. The entries are arranged alphabetically. Each entry
includes very brief title and publication information along with a list of the
library's holdings. The publication is, therefore, of particular interest to those
planning research trips to L'vov. It is also a useful source for those seeking
information and a holding location for emigre publications as it includes titles
published outside Ukraine that concern Ukraine and its populations. There is a
geographic index at the end of the volume which is essential for identifying these
titles.
