Records of the Press and Cultural Department, Foreign Ministry 

4 boxes, 658 fasc., 67 vols., 98,21 linear metres 

The collection documenting the activities of the Press and Cultural Department of the Foreign Ministry has three major parts: first, there are records of the distribution of Hungarian press organs abroad, reviews of foreign press, information bureaus and radio-related matters, second, there are records of the distribution of foreign press organs in Hungary, their permits, and papers on connections to foreign journalists, and third, there are documents on the internal matters of the department(s). 

The records were held according to the year of their creation and were organized both through the use of item numbers and creation of thematic dossiers. Large parts of the aids have been destroyed or became unusable and the ways the dossiers were originally organized did not prove satisfying either, the materials were therefore reorganized at the Hungarian National Archive.
