Derz︠h︡avnyĭ arkhiv Chernihivsʹkoï oblasti, State Archive in Chernihiv, Ukraine.
The State Archive of Chernihiv Oblast is an institution that preserves administrative records, historical documents, photographs, and personal files from the region. The collections are distributed across two main buildings that together form a comprehensive memory of local history.
The archive was founded in the early years of the 20th century and expanded its collections through several periods of Ukrainian history. It preserves documents dating back many centuries.
The archive draws people seeking to trace family roots or answer historical questions about the region. Visitors sit at tables here, examining old papers to uncover connections to their past.
The reading room in the first building is accessible Monday through Thursday from 8:00 to 16:30 and on Fridays from 8:00 to 15:30. During these hours visitors can examine the collections without breaks.
The archive operates a specialized branch in the city of Nizhyn that extends its work beyond the main locations on Mstislavska and Piatnytska streets. This allows more people across different parts of the oblast to access their records.
