Pavlo Alioshyn (1881–1961) belongs to the outstanding Ukrainian artists. The fund of the architect is one of the most rewarding personal funds of artists of Ukraine. Beside the text documents and drawings there are stored the large variety of photos. They have an important role to study the Kyiv area of the 19 mid–20th century. In the undated self-made album from the “Elements of Kyiv region Bilohorodka village: churches, excavations and others” the archive case 10 photographs are presented: the general view of the wooden church portal with a mound of earth and interiors, common view of village with ground walls, pieces of the archaeological sites. One of the photos depicts Pavlo Alioshyn in a group with others. It is not known when the architect visited Bilohorodka, but his interest in ancient monuments witnessed with lots of documents. The ancient city of Belgorod (Kyiv suburb) in the early XXth century was one of the most important objects of archaeological research. The interest in it appeared thanks to Vincent Khvoika’s excavations that started in 1909. Kyiv department of the Imperial Military and Historical Society, which funded the study, paid the special attention to the study of Bilohorodka. The archaeological excavations had the considerable resonance in the society that is why Kyiv department of IMHC organized the trips there. Pavlo Alioshin was one of the participants of those trips. His expressive quality photos served as illustrations for the descriptions of the excavations and were preserved in the contemporary press and some brochures. In addition, the pre-revolutionary album the archival case contains 17 more black and white unsigned and undated photographs taken in the late 1920's–in the 1930's. They show some area outside the city, the bases of buildings but they are not related to Bilhorodka. The attribution of these photographs is still promising. The analysed P. Alioshyn’s photo album is the essential visual source to the reconstruction of the first excavations in the chronicle of Belgorod and demonstrates a significant public interest in archaeological research in the early XXth century.
