Biographical History
The Sedlčany District Office was established in 1855. It had mixed political and judicial powers. In 1868, it was changed into the District Governor's Office. Its authority was limited to political issues. In 1868, the authority of the district governor's office was extended to the judicial districts of Votice and Sedlec, and so it remained until 1945. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the office was renamed the District Political Administration (in 1919) and the District Office (in 1928-1945). A drastic intervention in the district took place in the years 1943-1944, when the northern part of the district was occupied as a SS training ground. In 1945, the district office ceased to exist and its competence was taken over by its successor, the District National Committee of Sedlčany.
Archival History
The documents of the district office were taken over by its successor, the District National Committee of Sedlčany. After its abolition, the material was handed over to the State District Archives in Příbram, where it was organized and inventoried in 1960-1964.
