In this process, the State archive in Bytča (Štátny archív v Bytči) has been renamed and operates now under the name"Štátny archív v Žilin" (State archive in Žilina). However, the archive is situated in Bytča. The former State archive in Bytča - the Žilina Branch was merged with the State archive in Žilina.
