Abstract
The purpose of the article was to explore the key aspects of archives, their role in the protection of cultural heritage and their impact on social development. Particular attention was paid to the problems of access to archival data in the context of digitalisation and the development of strategies to address them. This article analysed the web platform of the State Archival Service of Ukraine, which is one of the tools for preserving and disseminating the cultural heritage of Ukraine. Special attention was paid to the analysis of modern approaches to digitalisation of archival documents. The prospects of using the latest technologies to create online museums, which increase the efficiency of people’s access to cultural heritage, are investigated. The article analysed one of the websites of the online museums of Ukraine, which stores the intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine, and considers the archival policy in the field of preservation of intangible cultural heritage. A list of immovable monuments of cultural heritage in Ukraine was found on the website of the State Archives, which helped to consider how the number of preserved intangible cultural heritage is controlled. The results were obtained from statistical data on requests for access to archival documents. The study provided data on the most frequent requests to the archives, as well as the methods of application. The study of online museums confirmed the relevance of modernising museums and their transition to online mode. Further improvement of the archival policy is important to ensure the preservation of cultural property and historical data. The results of the study indicate that archival policy is crucial for maintaining national memory, and the effectiveness of archival institutions has a significant impact on the preservation of cultural heritage
