	The article discusses the problems that the State Archive in Poznań struggled with soon after the termination of military operations and in the first years of its existence, i.e. until 1951. The main sources for this paper include reports and working plans drafted in the State Archive in Poznań in the years 1945–1951, as well as the operating standards regulating the work of this institution. The publication also raises the issue of protecting and gathering archival materials, as well as the difficulties posed by the complete destruction of the building and the resulting lack of appropriate spaces for secure storage of both new records and files, and ones recovered after the war.
