2024: Vladimir Putin signed the law on the creation of GIS to access documents of the Archive Fund of the Russian Federation
In December 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law creating a state information system (GIS) for remote access to archival documents via the Internet. The Federal Archives Agency will provide this service.
According to TASS, the provision on GIS and the procedure for accessing information will be approved by the Russian government. Changes are being made to the law "On archival business in the Russian Federation."
Users will be able to search for archived information using electronic reference and search tools. The system will also provide viewing and listening to electronic copies of documents from the Archive Fund of Russia on a paid basis. The amount of payment will be established by the government.
Registration in the system and the use of reference and search tools will be free. Regional executive bodies in the field of archival businesses and local governments will have the right to provide remote access to archival information.
The amount of payment for the use of archival documents through regional state and municipal information systems will be determined by relevant local legal acts.
The creation of a unified state information system will allow citizens to gain remote access to archival documents without the need for personal visits to archives. This will greatly simplify the work of researchers and all interested in historical materials.
The new system will make archival documents more accessible to a wide range of users, while ensuring the safety of the originals. The electronic format will allow more efficient use of archival materials for scientific, educational and other purposes.
The law also provides for the creation of regional and municipal information systems, which will provide access to documents of local archives.[1]
