Нацыянальны гістарычны архіў Беларусі (NIAB)
The National Historical Archives of Belarus, Minsk — the holder of the pre-Soviet Belarusian record. OPENED 2026-09-29, and the front page carries a fact worth more than any catalogue entry: BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH REQUESTS FROM PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS WERE SUSPENDED ON 17.09.2026 because of the backlog, and the reading room requires an appointment booked in advance. A letter sent now is not being taken. Check whether that has lifted before planning around it. Until today Belarus's only source in this atlas was POLAND's archive portal, correct for the old Kresy Wschodnie and silent on Minsk and everything east.

This map knows Нацыянальны гістарычны архіў Беларусі (NIAB) covers BY, but nobody has walked its catalogue into the shelf. That is a gap in this map, not a gap in the record. Help fill it →
