Reference and Historical Data Search

The Ukraine RD Reference and Historical Data consists of a multitude of reference material including articles, books, photographs, travel reports and more. It is organized and searchable by geography, article type and keywords. The geographical search enables you to view data related to all provinces (“General”), a specific province, a specific district, or a specific town. If you don't know the district and/or province of your town, use the 'Town Search' box in the right top corner or the page and visit your town page before using this search.

Search results are presented in a table which is sortable by clicking on the column headers. Please note that the “View” column includes several icons which provide information on each collection within your search results. Hovering your mouse over the circle with an “i” provides a brief summary of the collection. Clicking on the magnifying glass provides a detailed description of the collection. If the collection is available online, you can click on the open book icon to access it.
