YES, dear Bruce, the Polish National Digital Archives do cover historical Galicia on BOTH sides of the Polish-Ukrainian border and even go far beyond. Just two examples:
Index of Rohatyn deaths from 1877 (among many other metrical books): https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/jednostka/-/jednostka/17816198 Israel Friedman, founder of the Rabbinical Dynasty of Chortkov and son of the Sadagora Miracle Rabbi Israel Friedmann, returns to Chortkov (photo series): https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/jednostka/-/jednostka/5933225 There is so much more to discover, enjoy it and have a great weekend!

Does the Polish National Digital Archive site include records equally for towns on both sides of the current Polish / Ukrainian border? I think Rohatyn is within Ukraine – just wondering if the coverage for Ukrainian locations is good. Thanks so much!

Many of our ancestors came initially from Galicia, the historical region that today stretches from Southern Poland to Western Ukraine. For example, my ancestors came from Rohatyn and Tarnobrzeg. If you are going to trace your roots in the region, you for sure will become familiar with JRI Poland [https://jri-poland.org] and Gesher Galicia [https://search.geshergalicia.org]. But there is another source of interest, the Polish National Digital Archives: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/strona_glowna Click on "Search vital records". Narrow your search by entering "mojżeszowe" as the confession and search for the locality that interests you. Even if the registers are not available online, you now know if and where they are. This may be a step forward for you. Good luck with your research and have a great weekend!
