Dariusz Magier - Archives of
Voievodship Committee of Polish United Workers' Party in
Biała Podlaska
Documentation generated by the communist party after World
War II constituted the part of Polish archival heritage.
However, Party's archives were not supervised by national
archival network. At the beginning they were storehouses
of acts, and since 1955 they had been taken over by
propaganda sections of voivodship committees of PZPR
(Polish United Workers' Party) and later transformed into
the archives of voivodship committees of the Party.
The task to preserve documentation generated by the
structures of the communist party in Poland was
subsequently supervised by: Party History Institute at KC
PZPR (Central Committee of Polish United Workers' Party),
Archives of KC PZPR, and since 1971 Central Archives of KC
PZPR. Together with the archives of voivodship committees
the net with its own regulations, staff and archival
methodology was created.
This article gives a detailed description of the activity
of the organizational unit, that is the archives of the
voivodship committee of the communist party. One of the
smallest committees existing in Poland, a provincial
Voivodship Committee of PZPR in Biała Podlaska, which
operated from 1975 to 1990, serves as an example. The
article discusses the reporting structure, handing-over,
analysis and preservation of acts, means of recording,
premises, system of training and control as well as
characterizes the role of a supervisor of the Party's
voidovdship committee Archives played in the archives and
chancery.
