State Archives of Donetsk Oblast

The State Archives of Donetsk Oblast maintains extensive collections of administrative records, photographs, and maps documenting the development of the Donetsk region over centuries.

Founded in 1922, the archives relocated to Kostiantynivka in 2014 following regional conflicts, facing substantial challenges in preserving its documentary heritage.

The institution serves historians and researchers by providing access to materials that document the industrial development, social changes, and administrative evolution of Donetsk Oblast.

Researchers need to schedule appointments in advance due to current security measures, and some collections remain inaccessible because of the regional situation.

The archives experienced significant losses when numerous documents were taken during the conflict, leading to international efforts for document recovery and preservation.
