Acquisition
The documents of the Kulturamt Troppau (Agricultural of Opava) were separated during the organisation of the fonds from the period 1938–1945 in other archives, this being from the fonds of the Reich Governorship Liberec (Regional State Archives Litoměřice) and from the fonds of the German Settlement Association Prague (National Archives Prague). In the years 1961 and 1965 the documents were gathered together in the State Archives in Opava. The fonds was first arranged in 1965. This provisional inventory list was replaced in 1999 by a new inventory, which is accessible on http://www.archives.cz/zao/digitalni_archiv.
