=== Organization of Records in Ukrainian Archives ===
*All Ukrainian archive materials are assigned a record group (''font''), inventory (''opis''), and item (''delo''). Each item in an archive is defined by three numbers:''fond'', ''opis'', and ''delo''. The number at each level is simply a sequential number. Later insertions are given an alpha designation after the number such as 21a, 21b, etc.
*A record group (''fond'') contains the records of a specific organization, portion of an organization, or individual.
*An inventory (''opis'') is a list of items in a record group or collection. The inventory is the key to finding records in an archive.
*An item (''delo'') can be a single volume, file, or even a single sheet of paper.
*Each item is given a title based upon the record type and contents. Items are usually filed chronologically by the earliest year of information found in that item. Within a particular year, the items are supposed to be filed by degree of significance.
