Custodial history: In 1914 a handwritten department of ShSS was created. Until the year 1939 it numbered 2.5 thousand units of storage. Since September 1939 there was a consistent liquidation of ShSS. By the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR from January 2, 1940 the library of NTSh was transferred to the Lviv branch of the library of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the museum of the Society was disbanded. During the German occupation, the work of the ShSS was restored, as well as the active work of the handwriting department. At that time, many deposit holders took from the Library the collections left by them in 1939 and took them to the West. On the eve of the Second World War, ShSS was liquidated by the Soviet power. Museums and the library of ShSS, including the archive of the society, were disbanded. In autumn 1943, the German occupation administration carried out the export of cultural property from the Galicia district, part of the documents collected by the ShSS were transported to Silesia. Several batches of documentary materials from the ShSS archive were dispatched to Kyiv and Moscow in 1946-1950. The part was destroyed, only a small number returned to Lviv. The documents of the fund were deposited to the Central State Historical Archive in Lviv in 1951 from the Central State Historical Archive in Kyjiv. And in 1952, when differentiating the documents from the State archive of the Lviv region, most of the societie's manuscript collections were transferred to the Lviv Historical Archive in the form of placers. And the rest were divided between libraries, archives and museums. In 1954, the documents were passed scientific and technical processing under abridged procedure. Receipt of documents to this fund also took place in 1960 and 1983 years. The fund was kept under the stamp "secret". The complete declassification of the fund took place on 03.02. 1989. After working out of the fund in 1998 the fund of the ShSS archive contained 2 descriptions, 3141 storage units.
