Abstract. 6110 plates obtained with the 0.40 m Double Wide-angle Astrograph (DWA) with focal length of 2 m and plate scale 103.16 arcsec/mm of the Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Golosiiv (Kyiv) have been included recently in the Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB). These DWA plate catalogues can be found on-line with the WFPDB identifiers: GUA040C and GUA040D. The plates were obtained in the period 1976-1998, according to different observational programmes (FON, MEGA, selection of reference stars, minor planets observations, comet investigations, artificial satellites observations). These plates were the basis for determination of positions, proper motions and photometric data for more than 2,000,000 stars from the FON Astrographic Catalogue (FONAC), as well as for determination of the absolute proper motions for more than 14,000 stars. The plates with limiting photographic magnitudes up to 16^m.2 can be now re-used for different astronomical purposes.
