CAD INASAN was established in 1980 as a branch regional center of the Centre de Donnes Stellaire (CDS). Since that time, the CAD has been working to distribute, create and store astronomical data according to the requirements of time, specifics of techniques and requests of the Russian astronomical community. At present, the staff of the CAD is maintaining mirrors of several major astronomical data resources, keeping a record of Russian astronomical data resources, and is working to create new astronomical data resources. Since 2002, we are the important part of the Russian Virtual Observatory project (member of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance - IVOA). The CAD archive is based on astronomical catalogues received from Strasbourg since 1980. Several well known astronomical archives and databases are also stored at INASAN (e.g. VizieR, ADS, INES, VALD). At present CAD coordinates work on the Russian Virtual Observatory (RVO) project

German astronomical observatories own considerable collection of photographic plates. While these observations lead to significant discoveries in the past, they are also of interest for scientists today and in the future. In particular, for the study of long-term variability of many types of stars, these measurements are of immense scientific value. There are about 85000 plates in the archives of Hamburger Sternwarte, Dr. Karl Remeis-Sternwarte Bamberg, and Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP). The plates are digitized with high-resolution flatbed scanners. In addition, the corresponding plate envelopes and observation logbooks are digitized, and further metadata are entered into the database. The work is carried out within the project “Digitalisierung astronomischer Fotoplatten und ihre Integration in das internationale Virtual Observatory”, which is funded by the DFG.
