Biographical History
In 1850-1855, the judicial district of Nová Paka was part of the political district of Hořice, under the District Governor's Office in Hořice. In 1855, a mixed district office was established in Nová Paka. After its abolition in 1868, official activities were transferred to the district governor's office in Jičín. In 1903, the judicial district of Nová Paka was separated and a district governor's office was established there. In 1918, the district governor's office was renamed the district political administration, and in 1928 the district office. In May 1942, the office was abolished. In May 1945, a district national committee was established in Nová Paka.
Archival History
Documents from 1855-1868 were originally stored in the registry of the office and after its abolition they became part of the registry of the Jičín district governor's office. After the establishment of the district governor's office in Nová Paka in 1903, the files returned to Nová Paka and a new central office was established. After the abolition of the district office in 1942, the files remained in the Nová Paka office. In 1958, the material was handed over to the State Archives in Kuks. There, the fonds was processed and subsequently transferred to the Jičín District Archives. In 1969, a catalog of presidium files was compiled for the fonds. In 2005, the fonds was re-inventoried.
