In the article, the nature of the information about Ukrainian embroidered clothing (like embroidered shirts) from encyclopedias is researched. The encyclopedic aspect of the study of embroidery is proposed for the first time. Encyclopedias are an important source base that preserves and disseminates knowledge about the people, their history, culture, language, etc. And at a time when the information space is full of misinformation, encyclopedias assembled by professional editorial teams are considered as a reliable source base. But whether these ones are able to attract the attention of a mass reader also depends upon how interesting and useful their content is. Embroidered clothing as the subject of our study can be indicative in the context of the raised issue, because it is an integral element of Ukrainian folk clothing, has a special meaning, symbolism, sacramental features, therefore, information about it is relevant for Ukrainians. And the fact that because of the Russian-Ukrainian war Ukraine is now being discovered by the world and being interested in its history and culture, information of this kind is also relevant for non-Ukrainian readers. In encyclopedias, information about embroidered clothing is most often included in entries about embroidery that is, usually not represented by an item "Vyshyvanka" (embroidered clothing / shirt). We suggest that in encyclopedias, embroidery is described primarily as an object of embroidery art. In encyclopedias, other aspects of embroidered clothing related to their non-artistic functions (protective, ceremonial, patriotic, etc.) are covered much less. We also studied out that Ukrainian encyclopedic content about embroidered clothing usually has a local context and lacks a global one. This fact can contribute to the formation of the reader’s idea that embroidered shirts are an exclusively Ukrainian historical and cultural phenomenon. Although encyclopedias popular in the world show that embroidered clothes are characteristic of many populations. According to the top encyclopedias worldwide, embroidery traditions in Ukraine are not singled out as an original local phenomenon.

Encyclopedic literature and dictionaries devoted to geological sciences were overviewed in the article. The authors emphasize the lack of basic Ukrainian geological encyclopedia and provide arguments for the necessity of its appearance. They substantiate the importance of dictionaries representing specific subject lexicon, in particular geological terminology: "Dictionary of Geological Terminology" (1923), "Russian-Ukrainian Geological Dictionary" (1959), "Russian-Ukrainian Dictionary of Geological Terms" (1993), "Russian-Ukrainian Geological dictionary" (2011), "Ukrainian-French-English Dictionary of Geology, Geophysics, Well Drilling, and Oil, & Gas industry" (2011), "Russian-Ukrainian Geological Dictionary" (2016), "Geological Dictionary: Open Educational and Scientific Web Resource" (2017), "Russian-Ukrainian Geological Dictionary" (2018), "Ukrainian-Russian-English Dictionary of Geological Terms" (2020), and other mineralogical, geodetic, mining, petrographic dictionaries. The results show that Ukrainian encyclopedic and lexicographic literature does not provide knowledge of all geological sciences despite a fairly large number of encyclopedias and dictionaries (in total, over 40 sources were found), as there are dictionaries and encyclopedias encompassing only some particular geological fields. The authors also reflect on the issue of the distribution of subject encyclopedias and dictionaries in educational sphere today, when Wikipedia is considered to be the most popular online reference work in the world. The authors conclude that it is necessary to build a modern geological encyclopedia as a unified Ukrainian language source of reliable reference knowledge on geology.

The study is devoted to the definition the present status of Crimea in general encyclopedias worldwide (investigated 13 online encyclopedias). Differences in the analyzed encyclopedias on the interpretation of the political status of Crimea are manifested despite the fact that encyclopedias are recognized compendium of clear, objective knowledge. In most encyclopedias, we see attempts to present different views on this issue: there are both the official one defined international law according to which Crimea is Ukraine, and the unofficial one related to the actual control of Crimea by the Russian Federation. However, in some encyclopedias only one interpretation dominates, which states that Crimea is Russia.
