Scientific paper

The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) as basic source of information for archived wide-field astronomical plates worldwide obtained with professional telescopes since the application of the photography for astronomical observations collects at the moment information for more than 510 000 photographic plates (or 24% of all existed and stored 2 200 000 wide-field plates in astronomical observatories and institutions all over the world). In order to enable future possible investigations on the base of the WFPDB a list of observational programmes used for plate receiving is compiled. Some examples of use of archival wide-field plates (composed light curves of interesting stars, searching for past eruptions of a pre-main sequence star, present use of CdC plates) are listed.
