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

placed into Golosiiv Plate Archive database DBGPA with open 
access to them.
