Summary/Abstract: The study presents the problem of the essence, organisation, and functional development of the card file and archive of the State Security, in the period September 9, 1944 – 1949. The transformations of the services, departments, and sections that are directly involved in the operational report, card file, and archive are tracked. The main administrative and internal normative documents are analysed, which refer to the card file and archive of the State Security and which objectify the existing problems and trends at that time. The importance of this specific archival complex in its capacity as a carrier of retrospective documentary information and a specific source base for the researcher is derived.
