The Kropyvnytskyi archive is a private collection of documents related to the activities of the Kyiv Art Institute in the second half of the 1920s. The institute's rector, Ivan Vrona, appointed Marian Kropyvnytskyi an assistant for the research office of the experimental visual arts, headed by the avant-garde painter Kazimir Malevich. Kropyvnytskyi served as Malevich's personal assistant in 1928-1930. The archive contains minutes of meetings, Kropyvnytskyi's notes of Malevich's lectures, and copies of Malevich's unpublished lectures. Since the archive of the Institute was destroyed, the Kropyvnytskyi collection is probably the only collection that contains documents about the Institute's history in the interwar period.

The Marian Zulean personal collection is an illustration of the fact that any act of cultural opposition is dependent on the societal context that generates it. It implicitly highlights the fundamental difference between Romania and other communist states in the last years of the period 1980–1989. The more than 400 newspapers, magazines, brochures and books, originating especially from the Soviet Union in the Gorbachev period, epitomise a reformist political discourse that had become relatively official in the rest of the Soviet bloc, but was considered dangerous by the Romanian Securitate.

The collection contains illegal recordings of original and cover versions of spirituals, gospel music and other songs circulated as part of the underground Christian movement in various religious denominations of the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church and the Baptist Church. They reinvigorated the activities of the Blue Cross movement in Switzerland and of the Association of Christians in Prague. The albums were secretly recorded and distributed to the youth on cassettes (currently on CDs) and represented an opposition against the “conscious atheist socialist man”.

The former chairman of the Zadar municipal committee, Romano Meštrović, extracted the documents on the mass movement of 1971 in Zadar as an ad hoc collection already in 1990. The archival materials testify to the local communist purges after the quelling of the Croatian national liberal movement known as the Croatian Spring. It mainly consists of different reports, assessments and the minutes of the inquiry panel, which investigated and accused the reformist Party members for nationalist, i.e., anti-socialist activities also in the cultural field. The city of Zadar and its communist leadership was considered one of the epicentres of the Croatian Spring, heavily criticised by Josip Broz Tito at the Karađorđevo meeting at the end of 1971.
