Useful introductions to Carpatho-Rusyns in the European homeland are found in Alexander Bonkáló, The Rusyns (New York, 1990); in Paul Robert Magocsi, ed., The Persistence of Regional Cultures: Rusyns and Ukrainians in Their Carpathian Homeland and Abroad (New York, 1993), a collection of essays by various scholars on Rusyn communities in six countries; and in the quarterly magazine about all aspects of past and present group life in Europe and North America, Carpatho-Rusyn American (Fairview, N.J., 1978–97).

There is a small secondary literature dealing with the group in Canada. General surveys are found in the chapter “Carpatho-Rusyns in Canada,” in Paul Robert Magocsi, Our People: Carpatho-Rusyns and Their Descendants in North America, 3rd rev. ed. (Toronto, 1993), a volume that also includes information on the European background of the group and a comprehensive bibliography. Other works include a survey by Paul Robert Magocsi, “Carpatho-Rusyns in Ontario,” Polyphony, vol.10, Ukrainians in Ontario (Toronto, 1988), 177–90; histories of the two most important Rusyn-Canadian organizations, 50th Anniversary Almanac of the Lemko Association of USA and Canada (Yonkers, N.Y., 1979) and Michael Lucas, 50th Anniversary 1929-1979: Society of Carpatho-Russian Canadians (Toronto, 1979); and a chapter on the group’s Greek Catholic parishes in Joseph M. Kirschbaum, Slovaks in Canada (Toronto, 1967), 249–68.
