Summary/Abstract: The material I am presenting, consists of a serious scientific and historical handling of the work with documents in the Prefecture of Elbasan. The archival service in our country as the one in Elbasan Prefecture has been running throughout the stages of birth, formation and consolidation of the Albania state. The archival activity in this administrative local government unit has undergone several stages of development and growth. Starting from secretariats, correspondence offices (1912-1944) to archival offices at state institutions (1945-1990), as well as the establishment and functioning of the Local State Archives in the towns of Elbasan, Librazhd and Gramsh as centers of collections, preservation, arrangement and servicing of archive funds (1990-2017). In 2001, the Regional State Archive of the Elbasan Prefecture was established, as a coordination and management center of all archival work of the prefecture. The local state archive has actually accomplished one of the directions of its activity by obtaining and bringing all fund-creators documents (1945-1990)to the center, creating optimal conditions for their storage, scientific arrangement, and at the same time, to serve the archival funds within the framework of the motif “Free Society, Open Archives”. Currently the activity of the Elbasan Local State Archive is facing new challenges in line with the technological achievements in this field.
