There are almost 3 millions of archival astronomical plates around the globe. We report on the recent efforts to digitise these archives and to use these data for various scientific projects including analyses of objects observed by ESA INTEGRAL satellite such as blazars, cataclysmic variables, galactic X-ray sources, and other objects. We also address and discuss the status of the development of related algorithms and software programs. These data may easily provide very long term monitoring over very extended time intervals (up to more than 100 years) with limiting magnitudes between 12 and 23. It is obvious that such data are expected to provide very valuable supplementary information to recent and even to future satellite data from various spectral bands.
