These days, an unusual exhibition is on display at the Volyn Regional Archive – "Historical Figures in Autographs." In the reading hall of the archive, samples of signatures of the Russian Emperor Alexander II, the Polish King Sigismund, Stanislav Lypynsky – brother of Vyacheslav Lypynsky, General of the Ukrainian People's Republic Oleksa Almazov, and Metropolitans Mstyslav and Ivan Ohienko are exhibited. While preparing for the exhibition, archive staff discovered several unique documents in their repositories whose existence they had not previously suspected. As Antonina Kravchuk, head of the information and document use department, recounted, while searching for autographs, scholars came across parchment scrolls. They had arrived at the archive several decades ago and were stored in a scattered pile. Scholars passed them by, considering them secondary, and the scrolls waited a long time for cataloguing. According to the archive's scholars, the most valuable find is the "Resolution of the Sejm of the Vilnius Land of 20 February 1922 on the incorporation of the region into Poland." It is difficult to overestimate this document of state significance, as it marks the beginning of the Polish era in the interwar history of Volyn. Among other found documents are the "Confirmation by King Sigismund of the receipt of a foundation for the Lutsk vijtivstvo from the Lithuanian Prince Alexander," resolutions of the General Congregation of the Roman Catholic Church in Rome dated 1633-1660, as well as letters and diplomas of the Roman popes Benedict, Gregory, and Pius XI. All these finds are written in Latin, so local historians will soon be studying them.
