Abstract: In modern society, archives that are carriers of the objective memory of
peoples, keepers of unique documentary evidence of the past, have a special
cultural significance. Their activities create a solid foundation for ensuring the
continuity of the historical and cultural process, which determines a high social
status and explains the scientific interest in the history of archiving in Russia and in
its national regions. The article examines the process of organizational and legal
registration of the archival service in North Ossetia, which until 1924 was part of
the Terek region, then the Mountain Republic. The features of the formation and
development of archiving in the region in the 1920s – 1930s are clarified. It is noted
that during the period under study, the archives, in particular, became active
participants in the development of the local history movement. The organization
of the archival service in the Terek region was begun in April 1920, when Soviet
power was established. Over the course of two decades, the archival service of
North Ossetia has gone from uniting disparate departmental archival funds to
the creation of a state institute carrying out the cultural mission of preserving
historical memory, its practical use in the interests of the development of local
history, of various branches of science and education. The results of the study
allow us to conclude that by the end of the period under review, the social, political
and cultural role of archives in society was highly assessed by the authorities. This
explains why, on the eve of the war, they were transferred to the jurisdiction of the
USSR People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs, that is, by directive they became a
state asset for the preservation and protection of its interests.
