OFFICIAL WEBSITES OF CITIES COUNCILS AS A SOURCE FOR THE STUDY OF MODERN URBAN HERALDRY OF THE SOUTHERN UKRAINE

Abstract

The information content of the 50 official web-sites of the city councils of Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa and Kherson regions as a specific source for the study of modern Ukrainian heraldry is analized in the article. On the basis of this analysis, the types and the kinds of information on the creation and use of a city emblem placed on such resources and its usefulness for heraldic research were determined. A description of the legislative framework and regulatory acts regulating the filling of the websites of city councils has been carried out. An overall assessment of the content of this group of sites was given and it has been found that web sites of this type, despite considerable potential, at present, can only serve as an auxiliary source for heraldic research.
