The meeting of heads of the state archival services and archives of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus is held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on 16-18 September 2008.
The Belarusian delegation includes V. Adamushko, director at the the Department for Archives and Records Management of the Republic of Belarus; V. Selemenev, director at the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus; A. Golubovich, director at the National Historical Archives of the Republic of Belarus, A.

Rybakov, director at the Belarusian Research Institute of Records Management and Archival Studies, and V. Nosevich, director at the Belarusian Research Center for Electronic Records..
The meeting between the heads of the state archival services and archives of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine takes place for the first time. The traditional meetings between the directors of the federal archives of Russia and the central state archives in Ukraine have become a noticeable event in the archive community of the Commonwealth of Independent States during the past decade. In 2007 the Department for Archives and Records Management of the Republic of Belarus offered a proposal to make this meeting a three-party event. The proposal was agreed by the colleagues in Russia and Ukraine. The event can strongly promote further cooperation between the archivists of the member countries and the exchange of best practices in the field of archive business.
The heads of the state archival services of Ukraine and Belarus will sign the Protocol on joint projects between the Department for Archives and Records Management of the Republic of Belarus and the State Committee on Archives of Ukraine.
The meeting will host the presentation of the archival directory “The Petrograd Belarusian Society for Assistance to Individuals Who Suffered From the War. 1916–1918», compiled and published jointly by the Belarusian and Russian archivists.
