%X Between 2007 and 2017, the State Archive in Szczecin, managed by Dr Jan Macholak, was actively involved in performing archival work. Approximately 270 entities producing archival materials were supervised. Under the archive’s supervision, approx. 120 km of non-archival materials were analysed, and 3 km of files were added to the Archive’s collection. As a result, the resources of the Szczecin branch grew by 1/4 during that decade. At the same time, Szczecin archivists analysed the 3 km of files and additionally registered approx. 2 km of archival materials. Nearly 17,000 users visited the Archive’s research laboratory during that time, borrowing approx. 200,000 items. At the same time, the Archive became actively involved in popularising its activities and resources. Several dozen exhibitions and conferences were organised, and the Archive’s employees participated in the International Archives Day, the “Science Festival”, the “Museum Night” and the European Heritage Days. In addition, the archivists gave several hundred presentations on the most interesting documents and the history of Pomerania to secondary school students and those interested in history. In addition, they gave several hundred press, radio and television interviews. Certain employees also conducted research on broadly-defined archival science and the history of the region. Between 2007 and 2017, the employees of the Szczecin Archive spoke more than 200 times at various conferences and published in excess of 260 articles, reviews, monographs, source compilations and exhibition catalogues. Thus, an analysis of the activities of the State Archive in Szczecin between 2007 and 2017 demonstrates that the Szczecin branch was very productive during the aforementioned decade.
