The Archives of the University of Białystok, as a university-wide unit, collects, records, develops, stores and makes available archival materials and non-archival documentation created as a result of the activities of the largest university in Podlasie. It also conducts proceedings regarding the loss of non-archival documentation held by the University of Białystok.
The archive stores files related to the management, organization and functioning of the University. It has files regarding students' education (e.g. master's and bachelor's theses), organization and course of studies, as well as files related to the education and development of scientific staff. The archival resources of this unit include archival materials (category A, perpetual storage) and non-archival documentation (category B). There are, for example, documents related to the organization of the Branch of the University of Warsaw in Białystok from 1968, signed by probably the first manager of the Archives - Wiesława Dobrzyńska.

Category A archival materials (usually files related to the management, organization and operation of the University) are 98 mb. The remaining documentation, including student files, occupies 1,360 mb. The Archives of the University of Białystok are located at Pogodna 65 Street.
