Abstract
As it was planned I went to Lithuania in November 2005. Few days after my arrival I went to the Lithuanian Central State Archive and met the Archive Assistant Director Valerija Juseviciute with whom I communicated beforehand. Upon this meeting I made a rather unpleasant discovery. In my prior communication with Ms Juseviciute I was assured that I was welcome to come and conduct my research using the records I needed. However, I discovered that the archive was not going to allow any access to the records unless I had a permit from the Personal Data Control Inspection. Of this I was not informed despite specifically asking whether or not the access to the records was restricted.
