Central Military Archives, Military archive in Rembertów, Warsaw, Poland.
The Central Military Archives in Rembertow is a repository of extensive military documents, photographs, maps, and personnel records from Poland's armed forces. The holdings span more than 11,000 running meters of materials organized into ten distinct chronological groups.
The institution was founded in 1918 following World War I, initially storing records at Fort Legionów in the Warsaw Citadel before moving to its current location. The collection documents Poland's military history from the earliest days of the modern armed forces onward.
The archives hold records from different military periods, offering insight into how Poland's armed forces evolved across generations. These documents reveal the stories of soldiers, commanders, and institutions that shaped the nation's defense history.
Researchers must schedule appointments in advance to access the collections, as this is a working archive with organized research hours. Weekday visits are generally recommended when staff availability is highest.
During World War II, portions of the collection were evacuated multiple times, with materials moved to Romania, Britain, and Potsdam for safekeeping. Documents that had been held in Soviet custody returned only in 1964, becoming part of the archive that visitors see today.
