The author characterizes the personal archive of the famous Soviet archaeologist Aleksei Petrovich Smirnov, a specialist in the archaeology of the Turkic and Finno-Ugric ethnic groups of the Volga-Ural region. The archive is kept in the Department of written sources and the museum got it in several stages (from 1966 to 2001). Since 1982, the main part of it has been available for study, but has not yet attracted sufficient attention of researchers. Based on documents, kept in the archive, some facts from the scientist’s biography are clarified. The main focus of the article is on the period of work in the State Historical Museum. Information about the materials of archeological expeditions in which A.P. Smirnov participated (1924–1972), preserved in his personal archive, is given.
