M.52.DAMO - Documentation from the State Archives of the Mykolaiv Region History of the Archives: An authority was established in 1921 for the research of the history of the Communist Party (Istpart) in the Mykolaiv sub-section. In September 1925 the Executive Committee of the Mykolaiv area ordered the establishment of an archival authority for the area that would be subordinate to it. Collections from local Soviet institutions and private individuals were transferred to it. During 1925-1931 the archival authority of the area assembled collections from government authorities that existed before the October Revolution. Included is Soviet documentation from 1917-1923 and documentation of local institutions that were closed for a period of years by the authorities. In October 1930 the regional archival authority became the local authority responsible for all of the Mykolaiv area. In 1932, following the new administrative division and the creation of regions in Ukraine, the city of Mykolaiv passed to the Odessa region. In February of the same year, the local archival authority underwent reorganization and became the State Historical Archives of Mykolaiv. In September 1937 the Mykolaiv region was created, as well as the regional archival authority. In April 1938 the name of the State Historical Archives was changed to the Regional Historical Archives of Mykolaiv and in late 1938 it became the Regional Archives of Mykolaiv. In late 1940 the name of the Archives was changed to the State Archives of the Mykolaiv Region. At the outbreak of the war in 1941, some of the documentation of the Archives was transferred to the city of Uralskaya but most of it remained in the Archives. After the liberation of the region in 1944 an order was issued to the government authorities, institutions and organizations in the region, to transfer all of the documentation related to the war to the authority of the regional archives. In 1960 the name was changed to the Regional State Archives of Mykolaiv. In August 1980 its name was changed again, to the State Archives of the Mykolaiv Region. The Sub-Record Group includes documentation of the Romanian military government and the Gendarmerie headquarters in Transnistria regarding the handling of the local population, deported Jews, Gypsies, ghettos, confiscation of property and money, reports regarding the sanitation situation, statistical reports, and reports regarding forced labor by Jewish physicians and pharmacists; reports regarding partisans, the censorship of local newspapers, and anti-Jewish propaganda; official correspondence of the Romanian military government in the Golta area (and also in Tiraspol and Krivoye Ozero) with various organizations; documentation regarding forced labor and information regarding the administration of the area; lists of Jews.
