Welcome to the Archives of Belarus website!

The Archives of Belarus website is an information resource of the State Archival Service of the Republic of Belarus, which operates in the field of archives and records management throughout the country.

The State Archival Service of Belarus embraces the central, regional and local state archives, research institutions, technical laboratories, and an archival journal. The archival institutions are governed by the Department of Archives and Records Management under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus.

The website offers information on the state archival institutions and makes known the materials relating to records management and archive administration. There is also information on genealogy, archival publications, legislation, and professional training. A considerable part of the materials illustrate various aspects of the history of Belarus and the spiritual and material life of the Belarusian people.
