The NAC is one of three central State Archives (Archiwa Państwowe), other two being Central Archives of Historical Records, and the Archives of Modern Records.[3] The National Digital Archives were established on 28 March 2008 by transforming the Archives of Audiovisual Records (Archiwum Dokumentacji Mechanicznej 'Mechanical Documentation Archives') created in 1955.[4][5]
Collection
editThe NAC's collections include:[6]
- over 15 million photographs taken since the 1940s;
- over 40 thousand sound recordings produced between 1889 and 2008;
- about 2.4 thousand motion picture recordings made between 1928 and 1993;
which are all divided into 159 groups.[7] The whole collection is available for the public through the Archives' reading room, while digitised records are made accessible through the website Szukaj w Archiwach (transl. Search in Archives) run by the NAC.[8][9]
