History
State Regional Archive in Zámrsk was established in 1960.
Mandates/Sources of Authority
The SOA v Zámrsko is an administrative authority directly managed by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic. In 2002 , there was a significant organisational change in connection with the abolition of district offices under which the district archives fell. As a consequence, the internal organizational units of SOA v Zámrsko became the State District Archives of Hradec Králové, Chrudim, Jičín, Náchod, Pardubice, Rychnov nad Kněžnou, Svitavy based in Litomyšl, Trutnov and Ústí nad Orlicí.
Archival and Other Holdings
As of 26 January 2011, the archive stores 3,118 archive files, which equates to 24,805 linear metres. Of this amount, 11,130 linear metres of archival materials have been processed

Opening Times
Monday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There is a lunch break from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. During this time, researchers may remain in the reading room, but will be unable to submit requests.
The research room has a limited number of study places. The policy of pre-booking study places has not proved successful, so access to the reading room is granted on a first come, first served basis. If all study spaces are occupied, visitors must wait for someone to leave the research room.
Requests for archival materials can be sent to katerina.pavlikova@ahapa.cz and annamarie.mrazova@ahapa.cz. A request form (which is optional) can be found here:
https://vychodoceskearchivy.cz/zamrsk/zadost-o-predlozeni-archivalii/
A maximum of six study units, e.g. books, cartons, maps, etc. can be viewed per person per day, apart from microfilms, which are limited to 20 reels per person per day.
It is possible to order archival material for the same day until 1:30 p.m.
The time to deliver various items from the holdings can vary. Registries and microfilms are usually ready for consultation within 30 minutes of being requested; books and plans from other archival collections within approximately three hours. Cartons and other file material are usually only available on the following day.
