Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopaedia is an English translation of the thematic part of the Entsyklopediia ukrainoznavstva (which was originally published in 1949). It was revised, and supplemented with up-to-date material by a number of research scholars from the US and Canada.

The encyclopaedia consists of:

* Volume 1 — 1186 pages
* Volume 2 — 1394 pages

Volume 1 covers Ukrainian subjects including: history, demography, geography, language, and literature.

Volume 2 covers Ukrainian subjects including: law and jurisprudence, churches, scholarship and education, libraries, archives, museums, architecture, sculpture, painting, graphic arts, music choreography, theater, cinema, publishing, media, economy, health and medicine, armed forces, and the Ukrainian diaspora.

A new revised and expanded English-language edition of the great ten-volume alphabetic part was published under the title Encyclopedia of Ukraine in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s, and was only completed after Kubiyovych's death. It is presently being put on-line.
