Landrat (District Councillor) of Žatec
Extent and Medium
52 linear meters
Acquisition
The fonds was originally stored in the building of the District National Committee in Žatec from where it was transferred, in 1952, to the then Regional Archives in Litomerice. While being still in Žatec, a considerable part of the documents was taken out of their organizers, which caused disorder and damage to the files. In the Litomerice archives the fonds was arranged in 1959 and an appraisal of the documents was carried out. In the same year, the fonds was transferred to the State District Archives in Louny and stored in the depository Synagogue.
