State Archive of Luhansk Oblast

The State Archive of Luhansk Oblast holds administrative records, personal files, and historical documents that trace the region's development across generations. The collection spans thousands of files, correspondence, and official records from different periods.

The archive was founded in 1925 and served as a repository for local records for over a century. A difficult relocation in 2014 resulted in the loss and removal of many original documents.

The collection reflects decades of change: from Soviet administrative practices to local transformations after 1991. Visitors can trace evidence of everyday life and social conditions across different periods.

Researchers and genealogists can access materials in dedicated reading rooms, though advance inquiries are recommended. Regional conditions can affect visits, so checking ahead is advisable before traveling there.

The archive collaborates with international organizations to digitalize and protect damaged and endangered materials. These efforts have helped save important historical records from complete loss.
