DIGITALIZATION OF SOURCES FROM THE MEDIEVAL HISTORY OF UKRAINE: CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the current state of digitization of sources from the medieval history of Ukraine, the prospects of using modern technologies to increase the accessibility and preservation of historical heritage, information support for historical research. It was established that the relevance of the research is determined by the active implementation of information and communication technologies, which transform the basic foundations of socioeconomic life, the structure and composition of society, and communication realities. Digital technologies, being actively integrated into all spheres of human activity, significantly affect the development of socio-humanitarian studies. Digitization has forever entered the information field of historical science. The use of information technologies in the study of historical events and phenomena has radically changed approaches to the study, preservation and dissemination of historical knowledge. An important direction in modern historical science is the study of the history of Ukraine during the Middle Ages, the relevance of which is determined not only by the need to study the origins of Ukrainian statehood and culture, but also by the need to form the national identity and selfawareness of modern Ukrainians. The study of the history of the Middle Ages becomes especially relevant in view of the war that Ukraine is waging today, as it helps to strengthen national identity, restore true historical memory, and counter attempts to distort Ukrainian history. The analysis of the current state of digitization of sources from the medieval history of Ukraine, the prospects of using modern technologies to increase the accessibility and preservation of historical heritage, and the information support of historical research gives reasons to state that recently there has been a significant increase in the pace and volume of digitization of tangible, pictorial, and written sources. Digitization contributes to the gradual blurring of the boundaries between libraries, archives and museums, creating an integrated library-archive-museum information environment. This will significantly increase their information potential and provide users with convenient access to various resources, while preserving the historical and cultural heritage for future generations. It is noted that there are also certain challenges, in particular limited technical resources, issues of authenticity of digitized materials and legal aspects that require further attention. In the future, the development of interactive platforms and the strengthening of international cooperation will create conditions for even wider access to historical materials and help strengthen the connection between historical science and society
