We have undertaken the review of the sky area of GRB 111117A
(W. Fong et al. GCN Circ.12566) on astronegatives, collected 
in Ukrainian NAS Main astronomical observatory plate archive 
(1976-1996). All the plates with the possible object

flatbed scanner and have been placed into Golosiiv Plate 
Archive database DBGPA with open access to them. 
	The list of plates is given in the table:
