What’s New?

The Bukovina Website was first started in the 1990’s when a BSA Member started posting Bukovina related articles in a sub directory of his own site.

Around 2003, the site was recreated with it’s own domain and greatly expanded. The software, however, became obsolete, and the necessary site maintenance became overwhelming.

We are now in our third rendition, with new software which is maintenance friendly. The old static pages have been updated and are now easily portable.
