Eesti Riigiarhiiv, State archives in Tartu and Tallinn, Estonia
The National Archives of Estonia houses 8.8 million records, digital images, films, photographs, maps, seals, and parchments across multiple locations.
Founded in 1921 to preserve institutional documents, the archives underwent changes during Soviet rule and integrated the Communist Party archives in the 1990s.
The institution maintains reading rooms in Tartu, Tallinn, Rakvere, and Valga, providing access to Estonia's documentary heritage in Estonian, English, and Russian.
Researchers can visit the main facility at Nooruse 3 in Tartu or Madara 24 in Tallinn, with opening hours from 9 AM to 7 PM Monday through Friday.
