              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[The manuscripts kept in the department’s holdings as of 2010 are divided into 395 collections. The majority of the manuscripts are from the 16th–20th centuries; the oldest one dates back to the 11th century. Most documents are in Latin, Ruthenian, Polish, Russian, or German, and from the late 16th century also in Lithuanian. They reflect the history of the present-day Republic of Lithuania, Belarus, Northern Poland, and Eastern Prussia.

The most valuable and compact sets of documents are:

- the parchment collection (1421 unit, the 12th–20th century)
- former stocks of church institutions (e.g., the archive of Vilnius Cathedral Capitula and part of Archepiscopal archives, 1387– 20th century)
- the Vilnius Evangelical Reformers Synod Archive (16th–20th century)
- archive of the dwindling community of Karaimes, a Turkish ethnic group living in Lithuania (17th–20th century)
- part of the archive of the Sapiehas, magnates of the GDL (17th–19th century)
- fragments of Lithuanian manorial archives (15th–20th century)
- archives of Lithuanian national organisations and newspapers editorial boards that were active in the Vilnius region at the period of the annexation by Poland (1920–1939)
- Ecclesiastical and other Russian manuscript books (11th–19th century)
- collections of hand-drawn psalm books illustrations and Lithuanian artists’ drawings
- archives of professors of the old Vilnius University
- various collections of documents related to the political, economic, and cultural life of 16th–20th-century Lithuania
- archives of prominent 20th-century Lithuanian scientists, members of the Academy, writers, architects, etc.]]></p>
