Historical Background
The archive was founded in December of 1939 under the name of Volyn Regional Historical Archive in subordination of Volyn Regional Archive Department of Ukrainian People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. In 1941 it was given a new name - State Archive of Volyn region. During the years of Nazi occupation from June 1941 it stops its work and resumes operation after liberation of the region in March 1944. During this period archived funds diminished for 1163947 units. In post-war years the archive employees had conducted a great deal of work concerning systematization, scientific and technical work up of documents, improvement of their storage conditions, information system creation. In 1958 the Archive gets the name of Volyn Regional State Archive and (since 1960) submits to the Executive Committee of Volyn Regional Soviet of Working People's Deputies.

From October 5, 1988 because of the liquidation of archive department of Volyn Regional Executive Committee, it carries out management of archive affairs in the region and is a scientific and methodical center.
