The Central Press Supervision Authority files, stored at the Security Services Archive in Prague, contain materials documenting the control of press and newly issued publications in Czechoslovakia from 1953 to 1968. Examples of censorship with extensive transcriptions from ‘defective’ literary works are very valuable as they include unknown information on the ways authors and editors negotiated with the censors, reveal the origins of the works, provide information on the alterations that were imposed and the existence of text variants, and they even cover prominent authors’ previously unknown works.

The collection includes documents created or collected by the Cinematography Commission of the Government of People's Republic of Croatian in period 1947-1951, which testify to control over motion picture production by the communist regime established in Yugoslavia/Croatia after the Second World War. Such control was manifested through Party and state management of film production companies, the approval of screenplays, supervision of the import and distribution of motion pictures for screening in cinemas, and verification of the ideological suitability of qualified personnel (directors, producers, film editors, actors).

The collection was started with the need to preserve and promote the legacy of Polish journalists and photographers who documented the social, cultural and political reality in socialist times. The members of the Association "The Road" want to show the everyday life of peasants, workers and intelligentsia in Poland on the photographs which sometimes were not shown or published due to press censorship (official censorship or self-control of the editors who decided not to publish certain materials).

The Collection of Historical Interviews is one of the most significant oral history collections in Hungary. It is a mixed collection of life story interviews that were done with the intention of creating materials for oral history narratives, and a lot of the archived interviews were conducted during the production of historical documentaries beginning in the 1960s. The latter usually cover one aspect or chapter in a person’s life. The materials constitute a particularly useful source for the study of the history of Hungarian television. However, the scope of the collection is such that it contains a lot of references to figures of the cultural opposition. The history of the collection itself represents a narrative of nonconformist cultural practices.

The collection of documents furnishes rich information about the formulation and implementation of LCP CC cultural policy, about ‘deviations’ from the official path committed by the cultural opposition, and about attempts to use Latvian culture for the political ends of the Soviet regime in 1940-1991.
