After 1961, it was subordinated to the People’s County Council of Stara Zagora and, in 1988, it was incorporated within the structure of the Municipality of Stara Zagora. In 1992, it passed under the direct governance of the General Department of Archives at the Council of Ministers. In 1978, it received the status of a directorate, but in 2010 it was reformed and became a division within the Regional State Archives of Plovdiv Directorate.
