- Administrative/biographical history:
- This collection was formed in the course of the activities of the Kiev Archeographic Commission (the Kiev Commission to Analyze Ancient Records), a research institution established in 1843 under the Office of the Kiev, Podolia, and Volhynia Governor-General. Including prominent scholars (V. B. Antonovich, M. F. Vladimirskii-Budanov, N. D. Ivanishevich, V. S. Ikonnikov, I. M. Kamanin, N. I. Kostomarov, and others), the commission sought out and collected documentary materials in the archives of state institutions, monasteries, and private collections in the Kiev, Volhynia, and Podolia regions, and also studied and published these materials. In 1921 it merged with the Archeographic Commission of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences, and part of its collection was subsequently transferred to the Kiev Central Archive of Ancient Records.
