History

Between 1922 and 1926, the formation of the funds of the Central Archive of the October Revolution began. Documents of 61 institutions (mainly disbanded military units and Belarusian national organizations) as well as documents from cooperative and trade union organizations were deposited. The archive is located in the old Church of the Holy Spirit, a former male Orthodox monastery.

On May 28, 1927, the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Byelorussian SSR approved by law the creation of the Central Archive of the October Revolution of the BSSR. The tasks of the CAOR of the BSSR included the storage of documents of the central, state, professional, cooperative, and public organizations and institution of Belarus that had been operating since the February Revolution of 1917.
