The Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Golosiiv (Kyiv, Ukraine) posseses 14 wide-field plate archives. The first 5 archives are recently included into the WFPDB. Here we present the basic information for these archives obtained with the 10cm, 11cm and 15cm Three Cameras Astrographs (TCA) in the period 1955 - 1961. The total number of plates in these archives is 967 plates. Astrometry was the main observational programme. The plate catalogues are available on-line at http://www.skyarchive.org.
