Title
The Central State Archive of the Highest Organs of Government and Administration of Ukraine (TsDAVO)
Description
TsDAVO contains important information
about the Nazi removal of Ukrainian cultural property. The majority of record
groups in TsDAVO are now open to researchers although access is still limited
with regard to some documents in top-secret files. The collection most relevant
to looted art research are the files detailing the operations of the
Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR)
(record groups 3674
and 3676) on the territory of Ukraine. Researchers interested in access to TsDAVO
should present an official letter from a sponsoring institution in Ukraine.
