Previous posts have mentioned the work of Alex Krakovsky in Ukraine
making available to the public archival records. I don't believe,
though, that a previous post on these message boards has drawn
attention to the fact that Mr. Krakovsky has already been putting
online all of the records he has scanned, freely accessible and in
very orderly fashion.

The overwhelming majority of records that have been placed online so
far are from Kiev oblast, but there are many others from various
additional Ukrainian archives as well (except those of former
Galicia). For instance, I was able to view scores of original records
(metrical books, revision lists, etc) from various locations,
including my family's ancestral town of Pyatigory, in a manner that
previously cost hundreds of dollars to have someone else research on
the ground in Ukraine.

It appears that more records continue to be added as they are scanned.

Here is the link. If you open the site with Google Chrome, it will

Many thanks to Alex Krakovsky for his efforts.
