The State Archive of the Republic of Macedonia - Department Bitola (Macedonian: Државен архив на Република Македонија - Одделение Битола), more commonly known as the Historical Archive of Bitola (Macedonian: Историски архив на Битола) is the primary institution responsible for preservation of archival materials in the City of Bitola and Pelagonia Statistical Region.
The archive was established on May 26, 1954, by the decision of the then People's Committee of Bitola County, initially as a local institution under municipal jurisdiction.[2]
Since 1990 the archive formally function as a regional centre of the State Archives of the Republic of North Macedonia.[1] In 2024 an event was held commemorating the 70th anniversary of the institution at which a monograph titled "70 Years of the Bitola Archival Chronotope" was presented.[3]
