Summary/Abstract: The collapse of the Romanian Communist regime made necessary a scientific research of the Communist regime’s history. The archives had opened their doors for researchers and secret documents became available for study. In post-Communist Romania historians were very interested in studying documents from the Diplomatic Archives, the Military Archives or the former Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party. This study focuses on a special kind of historical sources - the documents of former secret police, the Securitate - and the problems that arise from studying these documents.
