State Research Institution "Encyclopedia Press" (Ukrainian: Державна наукова установа «Енциклопедичне видавництво») is the Ukrainian publisher of encyclopedic, reference, dictionary literature.
The book-publishing institution was administered through the State Committee of the Ukrainian SSR on issues of publishing, polygraphy, and book-marketing and later its successors (Ministry of Press and Information of Ukraine, abbreviated as DerzhInform in Ukrainian) that today are part of the State Committee in Television and Radio-broadcasting.
The publisher also operates the Main Edition of the Collection of historical and cultural monuments of Ukraine.
It was not until 1956 when the world saw publishing of the Encyclopedia of Ukrainian Studies by Volodymyr Kubiyovych who was director of the Shevchenko Scientific Society (Europe).
After that, the leadership of the Communist Party of Ukraine finally decided to realize the idea of publishing the Ukrainian Encyclopedia.
