Scientific paper

The worlds astronomical plate archives count nearly 3 million plates, some of them of very high quality with limiting magnitudes up to 22-23. The recent digitization of astronomical plates enables their wide use as data source in many areas of astronomy and astrophysics. I review the worlds major plate collections and discuss their impact on various regions of X-ray astronomy and astrophysics including long-term studies and monitoring of flares and active states of both galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources. .
