Reference Question Answered: Bibliographic Sources for the Ukrainian Periodical Press in the 1840’s: Encyclopedias, Bibliographies, Guides, and Library Catalogs

Abstract

The author answers a reference question on the bibliographic sources for the Ukrainian periodical press from 1840-1850. Helpful publications include bibliographies, guides, and library catalogs that can be used to identify Ukrainian newspapers or journals of the period. These potentially make mention of revolutionary developments in Hungary (such as the “12 Points” paragraph of the “Demands of the Hungarian Nation” in March 1848, the subsequent “April Laws,” and Hungary’s declaration of independence in April 1949) and elsewhere in the Hapsburg Empire.
