  ANNOUNCEMENTS




Access to Lviv Oblast Archives.

The Reading Room of the State Archive of Lviv Oblast is closed to on-site visits by researchers during the inventory process necessitated by the theft of valuable documents. It is unknown as to when this Reading Room will re-open. If a researcher sends a letter to Kiev and applies to the State Committee on Archives of Ukraine for permission to do on-site research in the Lviv Oblast Archive , the request is usually granted.  The Lviv Oblast Archive responds to all research inquiries by e-mail, telephone or fax. However, there are no materials in this archive normally of interest to genealogists (birth/marriage/death records or census documents).  These latter documents are housed in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv
