We keep interviews with people who witnessed the occupation, war crimes and other acts of Russian aggression. Our partners also upload materials from their expeditions, reports and other materials on the consequences of the attacks.

Researchers, journalists, filmmakers, and other stakeholders who can demonstrate interest in our project.

You need to fill out a Google form and agree to the User Agreement. After filling out the form, our team will conduct a verification process. In the end, you may receive an email with verification of your access to the Archive's database.

Based on the data provided in the form, we check your previous and current projects and assess reputational risks to ensure that we have a good match.

We notify you of the denial of access. The potential user can reapply for access.

No, the use of the Archive is free of charge.

No, there is no such possibility.

Only one person can use the Archive access account. If several representatives of the same project want to use the Archive, each of them must fill out an application form separately. The content of the Archive may not be copied, reproduced, or publicly displayed without obtaining a separate permission (licence) for such actions from the Organisation and/or the Content Provider. In addition, the User is prohibited from recording the screen that displays the Material/part of it, taking screenshots or in any other way making photo, audio, video recordings of the Material/part of it, regardless of the purpose of such recordings. These rules are provided for in the User Agreement.

Upon approval of your application for access, our support team will contact you by email with instructions for installing the necessary software and rules for using the Archive. You can also leave questions for the support team via email inna@ukrainewararchive.org

Yes. We provide access for a period determined by the duration of your research project.

If necessary, we can extend the access period before it expires. Please contact our support team at inna@ukrainewararchive.org

Of course. We will delete your account upon request.

You can lose access only in case of breach of the User Agreement.

We give preference to archive researchers, do not work as a stock of materials, and consider requests on downloading files on an individual basis case by case. You can use the materials in your research.

As a general rule, we do not offer this option, but we can consider the request on an individual basis, depending on the purpose and goals of your project. We encourage you to upload your own materials to accumulate data on full-scale intrusions in one place.

You can learn more about this on the page "Submit photos and videos".

Our team is working on this in several ways: we improve our infrastructure, check user requests, and limit access to the database according to the period of user research. In addition, we anonymise data and constantly work to minimise unnecessary data before collection.
