Държавен архив – Перник 
The Pernik State Archive is a division within the Regional State Archives of Sofia Directorate. It manages the selection, acquisition, registration, processing, preservation and provision for use of the documents identified for permanent storage, which stem from the district administration, the municipalities of the Pernik region, the territorial structures of the state bodies and other state and municipal institutions, organisations and important figures of local significance; as well as the scientific and methodological guidance and control of the organisation, preservation and use of documents in the archival services. The Archive was created as a division of the County directorate of the Ministry of Interior in result of the administrative and territorial changes in 1959. After 1961 it was subordinate to the People’s County Council of Pernik. After 1988 it was incorporated within the structure of the Municipality of Pernik. In 1992 it passed under the direct governance of the General Department of Archives at the Council of Ministers. In 1978 it received the status of a directorate, but in 2010 it was reformed into a division.
