The Archives Service for War Victims is the successor of the former Belgian Repatriation Commissioner (Commissariat belge au rapatriement / CBR). Established in 1944, the CBR was responsible for repatriating Belgians sent to the territories occupied by Germany, tracing missing persons, identifying bodies, recovering personal belongings and collecting archives. The CBR was dissolved in August 1945 and its services were transferred to the Ministry of War Victims, created in February 1945 to take action to help civilian victims of the war. In 1946, the services of this department were transferred to the Ministry of Reconstruction, and then to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 1952. In 2001, the Directorate-General War Victims was included in the Federal Public Service - Social Security. In 2018, the Archives Service for War Victims was integrated in the State Archives of Belgium. 

The Archives Service for War Victims holds an archive of 13 km, essentially devoted to civilian victims of the Second World War. The Archives and Documentation Service holds, among other things, files on the persecution and deportation of Jews and Gypsies from Belgium. These archives consist of the archives of the Sicherheitspolizei - Sicherheitsdienst, supplemented subsequently with other sources of information by the administration. Among the sources of DG War Victims, one can distinguish mainly two categories: - General documentation concerning, inter alia, the concentration camps; prisons in Belgium and abroad; the persecution and deportation of Jews; forced labor; and post-war trials. - Personal records including, but not limited to, records of civilian invalids of war 1914-1918 and 1940-1945; the records compiled by the Archives and Documentation Service (containing administrative documents and histories); records of"statuts civils de reconnaissance national"; and the records of the prison of Saint-Gilles.
