This project is a dedicated web portal focused on “Galicia,” a comprehensive survey of the Crownland published in 1898 as part of Crown Prince Rudolf von Habsburg’s encyclopedia. It provides access to all the volume’s essays in contemporary transcription, in searchable form. The source texts are augmented by the project’s English translations of Rudolf’s introduction to the series as well as five articles most relevant to Polish-Ukrainian relations and to Ukrainian nation building in Galicia. A digitized selection of pertinent correspondence collected from Austrian, Ukrainian, and Polish archives reconstructs how editors and contributors negotiated the volume’s contents. A critical study placing “Galicia” in the context of competing imperial and irredentist agendas completes the portal.
