The Belarusian Research Institute of Records Management and Archival Studies (BelNIIDAD) released a compendium of documents “Archives in Belarus in conditions of development and implementation of unified systems for government records management, 1960-1991”.

The book contains documents and materials reflecting the role of archival agencies and institutions in the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic in implementation and enhancement of the Unified Government Records Management System in practices of government authorities of all levels. This positively influenced the quality of the created records acquired by the archives. The historical sources, the most part of which are published for the first time, cover about thirty years, beginning from the transfer of state archives from the BSSR Ministry of Internal Affairs to the jurisdiction of the BSSR Council of Ministers and ending with the creation of the Republic of Belarus.

The book is intended for archivists, historians, humanities students, local specialists and everyone interested in the history and culture of Belarus.
