History

In June 1959, the CPC Tibet Work Committee (Chinese: 中国共产党西藏工作委员会) set up the Tibet Cultural Relics, Monuments, Documents and Archives Management Committee, with the Documents and Archives Section under it. In 1963, the Preparatory Office of the TAR Archives was set up. In 1965, the TAR Archives Bureau (TAR Archives) was established. In 1972, the TAR Archives Section was set up. In 1975, the TAR Archives Bureau and TAR Archives were under one brand, i.e., "TAR Archives Bureau", with both units having one set of personnel. In 1981, the Bureau and the Archives were separated, and the TAR Historical Archives was established. In 1987, the TAR Historical Archives was renamed the TAR Archives. On July 7, 1994, the Bureau and the Archives were merged, and the TAR Archives Bureau and the TAR Archives became a single set of personnel. Tibet Autonomous Region Archives became a set of people and two brands, and the Tibet Autonomous Region Archives was upgraded to a sub-territorial unit, an institution directly under the TAR Party Committee and the TAR People's Government, and under the leadership of the General Office of the TAR Party Committee.[4]
