Abstract

The paper presents the history of the Archives of Tuva Oblast Committee of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The authors have sketched three periods in its development: 1951–1959, 1960–1991, and 1991–2017.

In the early years after the set-up of the Communist party structures in Tuva, it was highly important to find the adequate premises and to recruit appropriate staff for managing the Archives. It was necessary to solve research and methodological questions of processing, systematizing and centralizing archival materials, as well as to organize work within the Archives. The second period in the history of the Archives witnessed a considerable improvement since the organizations began to be guided by specific work codes and records management instructions. The third period’s priority was to set management of the Archives on a uniform organizational and methodological basis. A special role in the archives’ achievements belonged to its managers. Provided is the list of their names and chronology of their leadership.

The authors emphasize that documents preserved at the Archives of the Communist Party of Tuva over many years have enjoyed a high demand by historians. Also listed in the article are their names, titles of contributions and defended dissertations.
