The aim of the EUD project is to publish a multi-volume encyclopaedia of the Ukrainian diaspora around the world. The editor-in-chief is Vasyl Markus and the project is sponsored by the Shevchenko Scientific Society (USA).
Since its inception in 1988, a considerable number of people in the UK have contributed to the project. From 1988 to 2002 Jaroslaw Hawrych (†), as the UK representative of the EUD editorial office, coordinated work on the British component of the encyclopaedia. Over several years Dorota Szkromyda was the UK project administrator. Various people, some of whom are sadly no longer with us, have made significant contributions to the gathering of material for the encyclopaedia, in particular: Dmytro Bartkiw (†), Wasyl Boreckyj, Edward Brodacky (†), Michael Dobriansky (†), Wolodymyr Gockyj (†), Georgius Jenkala (†), Nina Martschenko, Iwanna Maszczak, Wasyl Oleskiw, Roman Panas, Vera Smereka (†), Wasyl Tomkiw, Jaroslaw Wasyluk, Constantine Zelenko (†). The editors of the online encyclopaedia are indebted to all those mentioned above, as well as to all others who have supported the project.
