History[edit]

In 1920, the Podolia Regional Archive was established in Vinnytsia, consisting of three departments: archival, library, and bibliographic. In September of that year, the Podolsk Regional Archives was transferred to the Podolsk Provincial Archival Administration, which disbanded in February 1921. On April 1, 1922, the administration was reformed under the Soviet Union for the purpose of storing and archiving pre-revolutionary documents.[3]

Under July 24, 1925, following the liquidation of the Podolia Governorate, the administration transferred its functions to a temporary archival commission, which distributed the holdings to three administrations in Vinnytsia, Mohyliv-Podilskyi, and Tulchyn. The archive became a part of the Vinnytsia District Archival Administration.[4]

By the end of 1931, the local archival administration was reorganized into the Vinnytsia State Historical Archives. In February of the following year, the archive was renamed to the Vinnytsia Regional Historical Archive, with order to the newly created Vinnytsia Regional Archival Administration. In 1938, the archive fell under jurisdiction of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR. Since 1944, the archive has been referred to as the State Archives of the Vinnytsia Oblast.[3]

In December 1988, the archival department of the regional executive committee was liquidated. The functions of the archival management for the holdings of the region were transferred to the State Archives.[4]

The main building for the archive was formerly used as a Jesuit monastery, rebuilt in the 19th century.[5]
