Current State of Implementation of Electronic Services by Central and Regional State Archival Institutions of Ukraine

The purpose is to analyse the current state of implementation of electronic archival services based on the empirical material obtained during the survey of central and regional state archival institutions of Ukraine. Research methodology. During the collection of data on the practical experience of state archives in the implementation of electronic services, the questionnaire method was used. During the analysis of the received empirical material, general scientifi c methods of analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, generalization, and systematicity were used. Scientifi c novelty. The practical experience of central and regional archival institutions in the implementation of electronic archival services is being investigated for the fi rst time. The results of the research can be used during the preparation of a unifi ed methodical document, which in the future could serve as the basis for development of the specifi c legislation for the archival sphere. Conclusions. The results of the study proved that the implementation of electronic archival services is currently carried out gradually by each archival institution in accordance with its material, technical and personnel capabilities. Most archives have logistical and organizational problems. It seems urgent to develop a Program of informatization of archival aff airs taking into account the mentioned problems and proposals, in particular, it seems promising to develop standards of electronic archival services, a unifi ed procedure of forming prices, ensuring interaction with the state portal of administrative services, ensuring the opportunity for the state archival institutions to join gradually the complex information system «ARCHIUM». With the latter, the greatest diffi culties arise in regional archival institutions, whose development and material and technical condition directly depend on the policy of regional state administrations.
