Ukrainian archives have preserved many historical records useful for genealogical research. | ==Introduction== | ||
*Ukrainian archives have preserved many historical records useful for genealogical research. | |||
*During the period of Soviet rule, archives centralized and preserved a vast holding of '''church records dating from 1721-1917''', and other genealogical sources such as '''censuses and land records'''. | |||
*Ukrainian archives today continue to preserve records according to international archival standards. | |||
*The archives are centrally controlled by the '''State Archival Service of Ukraine''', which administers about 700 archival institutions. | |||
*Access to archival records varies from archive to archive. Records may be available for research in reading rooms at the archives and some archives provide reference services by correspondence. Many archive records have been microfilmed or digitized by FamilySearch, although most records remain in their original paper form in the archives.<br> | |||
