M.52.DAKirO - Documentation of the State Archives of the Kirovograd Region History of the Archives: In November 1925 a decision was made by the presidium of the Executive Committee of the Zinoviyevsk region, regarding the establishment of an archive. However, in 1930 the archive was closed and in its place a local archival administration was established in Zinoviyevsk. In November 1931 the general-Ukrainian central Executive Committee published a decision regarding the changing of all the local archival administrations to State Historical Archives. In early 1932 a re-organizing process was completed and the State Historical Archives of Zinoviyevsk was established. In 1934, following the change of the name Zinoviyevsk to Kirovo, the name of the archive was also changed and it became the State Historical Archives of Kirovo.
