Digitized Documents and Films of the Hungarian State Security

OSA Archivum is digitizing records on the structure and modus operandi of the Hungarian state security and other repressive organs of the communist regime. These have been obtained under strict scrutiny by private persons and researchers from various Hungarian archives, particularly from the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security and its predecessors. By uniting the fragmented, scattered and often artificially separated files, we hope to give a full picture of the activities and culture of the former state security organs.

Over the past few years, OSA Archivum has initiated the digitization and online presentation of several collections of state security documents. Among these are over 200 educational and propaganda films from the film studio of the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior, as well as over 10,000 pages of the Collection of Directives from the same ministry.
