​Virtual Tour of the Central State Scientific and Technical Archive of Ukraine

On October 31, 2025, a virtual tour for students of the School of History of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University to the Central State Scientific and Technical Archive of Ukraine took place at the initiative of the Department of Historiography, Source Studies, and Archaeology.

The lecture, held within the framework of the course “Archival Studies”, was conducted by Kateryna Kotenko, a leading specialist of the Document Information Use Department at the CSSTA of Ukraine. Thanks to an interactive 3D-tour, students were able to virtually immerse themselves in the work of this archival institution. They inspected the archival repositories, saw the internal premises of the institution, the document restoration laboratory, and familiarized themselves with the specifics of storing scientific and technical documentation. Excursion participants also learned about the documentary richness of the funds, the key directions of the archive's work, and its current projects.

Such educational events demonstrate to students the importance of archives in preserving scientific, technical, and cultural heritage, thus contributing to the formation of necessary professional competencies for future historians and archivists.

We sincerely thank our colleagues and stakeholders for the fruitful cooperation!
