爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛这三个波罗的海共和国,目前社会及政治活动的主要内容是重建独立性,其中包括确立档案事务中的独立性。一次世界大战后,这三个新独立的国家在档案工作方面有了一定的发展,1940年后,波罗的海国家档案馆被纳入苏联档案馆网之中,此后,所有重要的档案事务均由莫斯科作出统一决定,即使一些不重要的问题也要与莫斯科协商。这种高度集权的政策限制了波罗的海国家档案事业的发展,这种局面直到80年代后才有所改变。 Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the main content of the current social and political activities is the reconstruction of independence, including the establishment of independence in archival matters. After the First World War, the three newly independent countries made some progress in archival work. After 1940, the Baltic National Archives was incorporated into the Soviet archives network, after which all important archival matters were made by Moscow Unify the decision, even if some not important issues to consult with Moscow. This highly centralized policy limited the development of archival services in the Baltic States, a situation that did not change until after the 1980s.
