Experience in creating a database of a repository of archival documents of state statistics on the size of sown (harvested) areas and the actual harvest in the territories of the Orel region contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident in 19881991

The study presents the results of a study of the documents of the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Oryol region (1988-1991) stored in the fund of the State archives of the Oryol region, related to agro-industrial production in agricultural areas contaminated with 137Cs as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl accident. Rehabilitation of agricultural lands in radioactively contaminated areas of the Oryol region remains relevant to the present day. Search, selection and scanning of the most important documents on the subject of “Protective and Rehabilitation Measures Related to the Elimination of the Consequences of the Chernobyl accident” in the agro-industrial complex of the Oryol region in 1988-1991 were carried out. On the basis of the prepared electronic copies of the selected documents, a database was formed containing information on the size of sown (harvested) areas and the actual harvest in the agricultural areas of the Oryol region contaminated with 137Cs as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl accident in 1988-1991.
