The external service controls the archival and registration materials in the registries so that they are well organized. Previously, unsorted archival and registry materials were taken over to the Archives with the aim of preserving them. Organized and cataloged archival material with the owner is a prerequisite for easier work with the material in question in the Archive.

There are many users of our services who turn to the Archive in order to realize some of their rights (from employment, education, property-legal relations, convictions) in order to realize their rights. There is also a significant number of researchers who use the materials of our funds, collections and library.
