Ukrainian Philatelist

The Ukrainian Philatelist (Ukrainian: «Український Філателіст», Russian: «Украинский филателист») is a philatelic journal published in the United States as the official organ of the Ukrainian Philatelic and Numismatic Society (Союз украинских филателистов и нумизматов). It has been published since 1951 and serves as the principal historical chronicle of Ukrainian philately and numismatics. The journal is issued in English, but articles appear in both English and Ukrainian. The journal mainly publishes research articles devoted to the history of the post in Ukraine, the issues of postage stamps, postal cards and envelopes of various Ukrainian issuers on the territory of modern Ukraine, as well as current philatelic news notes. It also carries material on Ukrainian numismatics. Tables of contents for issues 82 (Spring 2000) through 99 (Spring 2008) are provided on the publication's web page. A single copy is priced at $8, while an annual subscription — which includes the annual membership fee of the Ukrainian Philatelic and Numismatic Society and two issues of the journal — costs $28. First published in 1951 as the organ of the Society of Ukrainian Philatelists, the journal appeared under the name «Philatelist» until 1961, then as «Philatelic News» until 1962, and from 1963 has been published under its current name, «Ukrainian Philatelist». After the publishing society was renamed in 1972, it became the organ of the Ukrainian Philatelic and Numismatic Society. By 1980, 44 issues had appeared; by 1990, 58. As of Spring 2008, 99 issues had been published. In 1996, a separate double issue (77/78) was published as a bibliographic index of the journal's articles for 1951–1996, compiled by Ingert Kuzych, the editor at that time. Frequency has varied over the decades: until 1955 the journal appeared once every two months; from 1955 to 1961 it was irregular; in 1962 it was quarterly; and from 1963 it was annual. As of January 2009 it was published twice a year, in spring and autumn, although the last issue listed on the Society's website (No. 99) dates to Spring 2008. Early editors-in-chief included Eugene Kotyk (1951–1961), Ivan Svit (1961–1972), L. Popovych, G. Slusarczuk (1972–1975), S. Kikta (1975–1976), J. Tkachuk (1976–1985), and Ingert (Ihor) J. Kuzych-Berezovsky (1985–1996), followed by George D. Fedyk and others. In 2008 a new editorial team was appointed: editor John C. Roberts; Ukrainian editor A. Malycky; and associate editors I. Kuzych, G. Fedyk and Val Zabijaka. As a rule, the journal's editors and editorial board members also hold elected positions in the Society's leadership.

The Ukrainian Philatelist began publication in 1951 as the organ of the Society of Ukrainian Philatelists.
