Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the functionality of digital platforms, technologies used for digitisation and access to archival materials, and to identify problems and potential for improving Ukrainian platforms in the context of archival development and the integration of national initiatives into international digital archives. It was based on the analysis of digital archives and resources of interactive platforms, such as “Google Books”, “Digital Public Library of America”, “Internet Archive”, “Europeana”, “Archive.org”, “HathiTrust”, and “The British Library Digital Collections”. The main focus was on the development of digital platforms that play an important role in preserving the cultural heritage and history of information technology and media. The “Europeana” platform has become one of the main examples of successful application of innovative technologies for digitisation of cultural materials. The study examined the development of Ukrainian analogues of digital platforms, in particular, “Diia.Digital education”, “Archive of Ukrainian Radio” and “Ukrainian Institute of National Memory”. These platforms provide access to digitised materials, which contributes to the preservation of national memory and the development of digital literacy. As a result of the study, a comprehensive analysis of digital platforms for preserving cultural heritage and media history was carried out, in particular, using the example of “Europeana” and its Ukrainian analogues. However, it was noted that the development of these platforms still needed to be improved, in particular, in terms of multimedia content, accessibility to a wide audience, and integration with international digital archives. The importance of further development of technologies for improving access to archival materials and integrating local initiatives with global resources was emphasised, which would deepen interaction between national and international digital archives. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of continuous development of digital technologies for the preservation of cultural heritage and national memory, and highlighted the need for further research and improvement of digital conservation practices, in particular, the integration of national initiatives into global digital platforms
