Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the historical archival records for the city of Szczecin, which were lost in 1945. The author outlines the process of compiling the Szczecin municipal archive, transferring its contents to the State Archive and then forming an archival collection from it. This section of the narrative is conducted against the backdrop of the development of Prussian municipal and state archives, as well as discussions on the recognition of municipal records as a valuable historical source. Then the author discusses the internal structure of the collection and describes the contents of the consecutive subject groups in the historical archive of the Pomeranian capital.
