Archiwum Państwowe w Białymstoku

The State Archive in Białystok is a government repository that collects and preserves historical documents and records related to the region. The facility holds materials spanning multiple centuries that researchers can access for study and reference.

The archive was established in 1950 and began operations in 1953 with materials from regional sources. Over time it has grown into a comprehensive collection documenting various historical periods of the area.

The archive maintains valuable regional records, including the 1640 Drohiczyn municipal book and extensive documentation from the Prussian administration period of 1793-1807.

The archive is open to visitors and researchers during regular business hours, with varying times on different days of the week. It is helpful to check ahead and possibly arrange an appointment if you need to consult specific documents.

The archive preserves historical maps, architectural plans, and photographs that show how the region developed over time. Many of these valuable materials have been converted to microfilm to protect them for the future and make them easier to access.
