Summary/Abstract: Legal regulations have a major impact on the fulfilment of all the basic functions of archives. First, these regulations have a significant impact on the content and accessibility of an archival resource, including the possibility to use it to learn about the past. Second, they themselves reflect the changes in how authorities, society and individuals perceive archival materials over time. Such regulations also emerged at the time when Poland regained its independence in the 20th century and underwent a number of transformations over the following 100 years.
