Abstract
The Lithuanian state archives are commemorating their 100th anniversary this year. Historically, the origins of the documentary heritage of the Lithuanian state can be traced back to the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Throughout history, despite changes in the system of state archives, their main function and purpose have not changed. They continue to treasure and preserve the state's documentary heritage. Over the course of 100 years, the structure and subordination of the state archives have changed several times, documents moving from one premise to another, technologies regarding document storage constantly improving. The Lithuanian state archives were officially established on October 19th, 1921, when the Minister of Education of the Republic of Lithuania approved the Statute of the Central State Archive and appointed its director. This statute stated that the archive should preserve all existing state and municipal documents acquired before the establishment of the Republic of Lithuania. It must also maintain the liquidated and non-essential documents of these organizations and collect documents of state, public and scientific value from private people and public organizations.
