Day of Employees of Archival Institutions: the University Congratulates

V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University sincerely congratulates archival institution workers on their professional holiday! Your work is a vital contribution to preserving the historical memory of our country — a treasure that shapes national identity and ensures the connection between generations.

It is deeply symbolic that the founder of our university, Vasyl Nazarovych Karazin, was among the first to recognize the significance of archives for science and society. He collected and published valuable historical sources and initiated the creation of a specialized journal for publishing archival documents.

The first public historical archive in Kharkiv was established under the Kharkiv Historical and Philological Society, which operated at our university in 1880. This tradition continues today, as the School of History of Karazin University, particularly the Department of Historiography, Source Studies, and Archaeology, trains highly qualified specialists for the archival field.

In these challenging times, as Ukraine resists full-scale invasion, your mission becomes even more critical. Preserving our heritage and the documents that tell the story of the struggles, resilience, and victories of the Ukrainian people is your invaluable contribution to the future.

We wish you strong health, strength, and inspiration for new professional achievements. Thank you for your dedication to this important work!
