History
State Archive of Krasnodar Kray was created in 1941, by unification of two local archives: Historical Archive and Archive of the October Revolution.
Basis of first archive were documents of the Black Sea Military Archive that was brought to Kuban (Krasnodar) region together with resettlement of Zaporozhe Cossacks into the area. Cossacks military organization was recreated in the new home and fastly it produced new documentation. It was for the first time organized and placed in separate building in the year 1834.
Following 1917 revolution the new archive was formed to collect documents from the revolutionary and Soviet period.
Second World War started shortly after unification of the both archives. They were evacuated to the eastern parts of the country and many documents were lost.
