Need advice - book of Russian poems

[Nola]

Dear SEELANGERs

A dear friend whose mother wrote poetry long ago in Russia, has published a book of her poetry in Russia. He did it as a labor of love, not to make money. He wants to make the poetry available to anyone who would like to read it by also putting it on the internet. He has asked my advice.I (after mentally making a note to myself to ask you  here in this group!)suggested that he might have to make a website, and upload the poems(they are PDF files)there and in addition, get someone to record the poems recited, and make the audio files for each one appear near each poem. He suggested Youtube or Facebook but I am not sure about those, as neither of those have extensive screen space for text.  Well, Youtube does have a long description space next to each video, long enough for any poem.The video could contain the recitation....
Well, I would very much appreciate any opinions on this. What do you think would be the best venue for presenting this material in a way that the most people can find and enjoy it?
Below, is a blurb from the publisher,translated into English, about the poems and how they came into being. A side note-people who are old enough to remember the revolution days and the days before it(1917, not 1991) have read these poems and wept.I think the poetry will appeal to historians,  homesick Russians living away from Russia, and those who are interested in the torn emotions and hearts of people who left.
Here is the publisher's note:

>From the publishers (Edited)
"Elizabeth Grigorevna Ivanova was born in 
St.-Petersburg, Russia in 1899. Her father, a 
well known manufacturer, and mother,a concert 
pianist, have given their daughter a brilliant 
education,. Elizabeth took lessons in music 
and  voice. In 1917 she has completed the Female 
Gymnasium named after A.I.Bolsunovoy.
In 1922 the whole family emigrated to Serbia. For 
the Russians who did not know the Serbian 
language, it was difficult, but Elizabeth  has 
learnt to speak and write Serbian, and in 1925 
has received a  stipend from King Alexander and 
has attended Zagreb Conservatory where she 
continued her musical and singing education. She 
had a very beautiful and rare voice: and a 
special talent for throat whistling, with it - 
she was able to perform all the arias and classical excerpts from operas.
In Serbia Elizabeth Grigorevna has met her 
husband and they got married. Her husband a 
Captain - was a regular officer in the 
Russian  Imperial Army. They had two children,  a boy and a girl.
Elizabeth Ivanova has been writing poetry for a 
long time and her selected  poems have been 
printed in Belgrad, in Russian newspapers and 
magazines. She translated some verses 
intoSerbian, and they were as well published in the Belgrad newspapers.
During  World War II, practically all 
manuscripts, records, newspapers and journals, 
publications have been lost - after several years 
of wandering in post-war camps in Germany, in 
1950 Elizabeth Ivanova and her family moved to 
the USA. Much later, already in the United 
States, Elizabeth Grigorevna has restored some of 
her  poems in Serbian and Russian. Even has 
published some of her poetry in Russian New York newspapers.
  In USA, as well as everywhere where she lived, 
Elizabeth Grigorevna wrote poetry- sincere and 
touching, appealing to spirituality and to the 
truth, full of loneliness and melancholy for 
Russia which she loved and prayed for all her 
life. Elizabeth Grigorevna Ivanova has died in March, 1960.
We would like to bring to the attention of the 
reader that this collection of poetry- Elizabeth 
Ivanova's first book published in Russia. This 
publication is dedicated to her by her children - 
Boris and Nina - living now in the USA. In poems 
we have kept the  old Russian spelling - spelling 
that was used -  prior to 1908 which  Elizabeth 
Grigorevna has preserved  in emigration and which 
she preserved intact, as well as,  her fidelity 
to the old, pre-revolutionary Russia."


Anyone have any suggestions?
