The first Cherkasy state archives institution – the Central People’s Archives – was founded in Cherkasy in April 1919. The Cherkasy Region Archives were founded in 1925. Districts were abolished in September, 1930. In October 1930, in view of this abolition, the Cherkasy Local Archives Office was organized on the basis of Cherkasy District Archives. In 1932 they were reorganized into the Cherkasy State Historical Archives, and in 1941 they became a branch of Kyiv Oblast State Archives. The branch incurred great losses during the Nazi occupation of Cherkasy. 277000 out of 289000 documents filed in the Archives by January, 1, 1941 were lost. In view of the forming of Cherkasy Oblast on January, 7, 1954, the Cherkasy Oblast State Archives were founded on the basis of this branch. The Archives began their work on May, 18, 1954. The Archives Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Administration of Cherkasy Oblast was organized in May, 1954. Party’s Archives of Cherkasy Oblast Committee of the Communist Party were founded in August, 1954. From 1958-1980 in accordance with the State Archives Funds Regulations of the Soviet Union of October, 13, 1958, the Oblast State Archives were named Cherkasy Oblast State Archives. According to the order № 67 of August, 7, 1980 of the Chief Archives Administration attached to the Council of Ministers, the Archives were named Cherkasy Oblast State Archives.
