MEMORIES OF ALBERTA UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCHES
The book “Memories of Alberta Ukrainian Orthodox Churches” features histories, founders, clergy data, cemetery records, and over 500 color photographs covering 66 Ukrainian Orthodox churches established by pioneers in twentieth-century Alberta.
This book by authors Russell Sawchuk (exterior photography), Jars Balan (historical text/overview), and Sterling (Slavco) Demchinsky (interior photography) is praised by regional historians and community heritage groups (such as the Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts and local prairie history networks) as a vital, race-against-time archive. As many rural congregations shrink or historic wooden and domed structures face abandonment, decay, or loss (such as recent rural church fires), the book is recognized for turning ephemeral local history into a permanent visual record.
