It was analyzed the content and source significance of the documents of the reorganization
of museum work on the territory of Ukraine.
The analysis of documents of the German civil administration of Reich Commissariat
Ukraine allows to conclude the intent for massive fundamental reorganization of museum
institutions and for all museum work on the territory of RCU, which was expected to implement
in life after the final cessation of hostilities.
As a result of the planned reorganization it was to become the almost complete destruction
of the existing Museum system of Ukraine, remains of which shall be reduced to the sole
European Central Museum of Art as a closed collector of works of European art and system of
the regional museums, which shall perform only information and reference function in the interest
of the German administration to ensure the effective operation of the relevant region.
The first step towards such a reorganization were implemented by German civil administration
in 1942-1943, but full reorganization of Museum system of Ukraine did not occurred for a number
of reasons which include the lack of the relevant professional personnel in general districts of Reich
Commissariat Ukraine and unfavorable for Germany development on the front in 1943.
It was analyzed in the article the documents from the archives of the Regional Administration
of archives, libraries and museums, that are an important source for the history of museum institutions
on the territory of Reich Commissariat Ukraine because they give an idea about the plans of occupation
authorities regarding museum system of Ukraine and the measure of their performance.[/restab]
