According to Adas Pliopa, the archivist at the Kaunas Drama Theatre, the archive of the theatre is under the supervision of the Lithuanian Archive of Literature and Art. Because of this, it should formally keep plans of files of the nomenclature and periodically transfer material to the Lithuanian Archive of Literature and Art. According to Pliopa, this system of file nomenclature and responsibility of the Lithuanian Archive of Literature and Art was established in 2004. After that, the archivist collected all the material that was in the theatre in one archive. 
Nevertheless, the material from the theatre's archive is not limited to bureaucratic activity by the theatre. At the initiative of actors and other workers, the theatre collects and keeps manuscripts, drafts and photographss about the history of the theatre. Because of this, the archive of the theatre not only has material about the current activities of the theatre, but also material that is interesting in the sense of cultural opposition. Drafts, photographs and manuscripts of scripts of plays made in the hand of the theatre director may be interesting to researchers. On the other hand, this kind of material does not have an inventory. Therefore, anyone who is interested in researching theatre history should apply directly to the theatre archivist Adas Pliopa.

The Archives of Yugoslavia preserves and protects archival material created by the work of state organs and organizations of the Yugoslav state from 1918 to 2006. The initiative to found the archives began in 1920, but it was only established after the Second World War, in 1950, under the name State Archive of the FNRJ (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). It has had its current name since 1964, with a small break from 2003 to 2009, when it was known as the Archive of Serbia and Montenegro (during the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro). Fonds in the Archives are divided into two groups: one covering the period up until 1945 and the other after 1945. They are searchable online.

The Archive of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) is a Hungarian archival collection. MTA dealt with their documents since it’s foundation. The documents were organized professionally in the 1930s and placed in the Archives of Manuscripts of the Library of the MTA after 1945. This is the Old Academic Archives. In 1949, the Academy was reorganized. It became an organization which controls scientific life in Hungary, together with many research institutes. This led to an increase in the number of documents. The academic presidential decision no. 48/1963 established the independent Academic Archives. The Archive started its work as an independent unit on January 1, 1964, but under the organization of the Library of MTA. Its task is to collect, store, and sort the academic documents created after 1949. After the decree-law no. 27 of 1969, the minister of public education declared the Academic Archives a professional archives, as expressed in his letter no. XVIII. 94978/1970. Today the archives are classified public archives based on the academic law (1994) and the archives law (1995).
