To the employees of archive institutions of Ukraine
Dear friends!
Please accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of your professional holiday the Day of Archive Institutions of Ukraine.
Your high professional level, initiative, and competence are acknowledged far beyond Ukraine. Your everyday hard work of dealing with historical testimonies proves that you realize the all the level of responsibility before the present and the future.
At least once in a life each citizen uses archives either for social or scientific purposes or to create a family tree. This testifies of an important role archives play as social institutes of keeping national memory accumulated in millions of documents of the National Archive Fund. These documents contain historic and practical experience of our predecessors, creative heritage of progressive intellectuals. This is a spiritual potential without which any further development of Ukrainian state would be impossible.
I am sure that you will help best traditions of previous generations of domestic archivists connected with processing, keeping and multifaceted use of archival documents grow.
May you all prosper this New Year! I wish you and your families welfare, health and God’s grace!
With respect
Volodymyr RYBAK
