====Contacting Archives==== | |||
Most of the records of genealogical interest are organized into Central State Historical Archives for each province (oblast) of Ukraine. | |||
The offical web-portal of the State Archival Service of Ukraine is [http://www.archives.gov.ua/Eng/ '''Archives of Ukraine''']. This site is available in English and provides links to the web pages of individual archives in Ukraine, with contact information, information about holdings, and other information about using the archive. Online catalog information about holdings varies from archive to archive, with some providing more detail about the contents of their collections than others. | |||
