report:
We have undertaken the review of the sky area in vicinity of
GRB 110915A (Evans et al., GCN Circ.12340) on astronegatives,
collected in Ukrainian NAS Main astronomical observatory plate
archive (1976-1996). All the plates with the possible object
appearance are digitized using Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL TMA
and Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanners and have been
placed into Golosiiv Plate Archive database DBGPA with open
access to them.
The list of plates is given in the table:
