The history of the Ukrainian National Association from 1894 to 1994 is documented in a book by Dr. Myron Kuropas, “Ukrainian Citadel: The First Hundred Years of The Ukrainian National Association,” published by The University of Toronto Press. In this special section of The Ukrainian Weekly dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the UNA, we offer excerpts from Dr. Kuropas’ manuscript, reprinted with permission from the author. (Please note that the Ukrainian National Association [UNA] was known as the Ruskyi Narodnyi Soyuz [RNS] for the first 20 years of its existence.)
