Files collected in archives play an extremely important role in historical studies; without them, research would be virtually impossible. Documents on the history of the communist movement in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in the years 1920–1938 are extremely dispersed, which is related to the administrative changes that affected these areas during the existence of the Second Polish Republic, among other things. This article discusses the Polish archives that collect documents on the history of the communist movement along with a brief overview of the contents of archival groups and the substantial value of these documents.

In its capacity as a mass–scale organisation the Communist Party functioned in all large workplaces in post–war Poland. For this reason, a Party committee was established also alongside public security offices (i.e. in Gdańsk), where the highest–ranking body was the Site Committee, whose subordinates included basic (POP) and departmental (OPP) organisations and Party groups. The titular Party cell was not, however, typical, and protocols from its sittings (to 1955) were sent directly to the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers Party in Warsaw (until 1953 the Voivodeship Committee in Gdańsk did not even receive their copies), while general Party membership statistics did not encompass security apparatus employees. The Site Committee did not interfere in assorted operations, mentioned extremely rarely. It resembled rather a sui generis trade union, whose members could not include employees holding military full time jobs. The sessions discussed social questions, discipline or the organisation of the leisure time of the staff and their families. The Committee forum also served as a tool for the indoctrination of the functionaries.
