Summary/Abstract: The article, based on archival and historiographical materials, examines the transformation of the Lithuanian archival system implemented by the Soviet government when archives were subordinated to political goals. The authority restricted public access to the historical material stored in the archives after transferring them to the Special Funds. The author focuses on the development of the Secret Funds of the Central State Archives of Lithuania in the 1970–1980’s and discusses the experiences of Lithuanian historians in using the material stored in the Secret Funds in their professional work.
