As organized in 1941 and under the archival reform of December 1943, the archive was officially called the Central State Historical Archive of the UkrSSR (after 1948, in Kyiv). At that time it consolidated prerevolutionary historical records previously held in the Kyiv Central Archive of Early Acts (founded in 1852 under Kyiv University), the Kyiv Oblast Historical Archive (part of the holdings from which served as the basis of the State Archive of Kyiv Oblast-see K-15), and the prerevolutionary holdings of the Central Archive of the Revolution (TsAR) in Kharkiv. In 1971, when it was transferred from the buildings adjacent to St. Sophia Cathedral to its present home, it absorbed the holdings in the former Branch of the Central State Historical Archive in Kharkiv.
TsDIAK serves as a consolidated repository for all prerevolutionary records of general Ukrainian national-level significance, except for those originating in the western oblasts. TsDIAK has brought together virtually all pre-nineteenth-century records and miscellaneous historical documentation from both Left-Bank and Right-Bank Ukraine earlier stored in local historical archives. Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century guberniia-level records, however, remain stored in those state oblast archives now organized in former Russian imperial guberniia administrative centers.
TsDIAK has developed a large microfilm collection of documents regarding Ukrainian history and culture with copies of documentation in various institutions in Russia and abroad.
Access: All of fonds in the archive are available to researchers. Researchers should present an official letter from their sponsoring institution addressed to the director and obtain her endorsement.

Now considerably out of date and incomplete, covering
only approximately half the fonds in the archive, this guide is supplemented by a 1986
unpublished list of fonds (see below), including those that have been recently
declassified and those transferred to other archives. The rich library holdings listed now
form part of the HAU Central Library.
"Dopolneniia k putevoditeliu po TsGIA UkrSSR v g. Kieve"/ "Dodatok do

Originally classified for "service use
only" (DSP), this supplement to the 1958 guide provides an unannotated
list of 50% more than were covered in the guide itself, including many of those
that were previously classified. The 867 fonds covered are divided under rubrics
and are particularly rich in those from the period immediately before the 1917
October Revolution. Collections brought together by the archive are listed separately
(p. 67), including those brought together after the 1958 guide appeared, as
are personal and family fonds (pp. 56-65). Includes a list of fonds transferred
to other archives, predominantly to the Kyiv City Archive (K-16)
with their new fond numbers. There is also a separate list of microfilm collections
of materials relating to Ukrainian history acquired from other archives in the
Soviet Union and abroad.
