Summary/Abstract: The text examines the disintegration of the unified historical narrative of the recent past which happened after the fall of the communist regime in Bulgaria. Traced against this background are the dimensions of the so-called archival revolution in the system of the Bulgarian archives and the fate of the document arrays of the former regime. Given the gigantic increase in the volumes of documents with which historians operate, the paper finally attempts to take stock of its impact on the research field and on public discourse.
