Archiwum Państwowe w Szczecinie
The State Archive in Szczecin (Staatsarchiv Stettin) was created by Prussian authorities in 1827. Till 1901 its seat was the Szczecin Castle. In 1901 the new archival building was inaugurated at Karkutschstrasse (today Świętego Wojciecha street). The Polish State Archive in Szczecin came into existence on August 1st 1945. Its primary task was to gather the records evacuated by the German archival authorities during the war (about 80% of archival holdings). This aim was reached partially, as some records disappeared or found their place in the Greifswald Archive.
