In included pre-1917 documents from the Orel Oblast as well as ones created in post-revolutionary period. In 1937 due to the next administrative reorganization of the Soviet State, Orel Oblast was created, and its archive was divided into two institutions: Orel Oblast Historical Archive with documents from period before 1917 and Archive of October Revolution with the documents from 1917 and after. Both archives were reunited into the one State Archive in 1941. In the same year, due to the German invasion most of the documents of the archive were evacuated to the town of Volsk in Saratov Oblast and town of Uralsk in Western Kazakhstan Oblast. 90% of the remaining documents were destroyed, some of the most valuable ones, were taken to Germany. State Archive of the Orel Oblast was reestablished in 1944. It was moved to the new building in 1964.
