Belarusian Publishing in the West: A Bibliography--Periodicals

Compiled by Zora Kipel and Vitaut Kipel, in cooperation with Belarusian Institute of Arts and Sciences. This bibliography of Belarusian serials in the West records Belarusian-language and Belarus-related publications in other languages, produced outside of Belarus--mainly in Western Europe, the Americas, and Australia--from the mid-19th century through the year 2000 inclusive. It lists 414 magazines, newspapers, bulletins, and other serial publications, alphabetically by title. Each entry includes title, place of publication, name of editor(s) (when available), inclusive numbers and dates for ceased publications, and an open date for currents. Short-run periodicals are enumerated and described individually. For long-running publications, only the changes (in place of publication, editorial staff, or variant titles) are indicated. There are numerous cross-references to the issuing organizations and alternate titles. A list of abbreviations commonly used in the Belarusian diaspora is provided at the end of the volume. The titles in the bibliography provide in themselves important documentation of Slavic and East European publishing and printing outside the homelands. This book will also be an important source for linguists, historians, sociologists of religion, and art historians.
