Biographical History
In 1850, the district governor's office began to operate. It was changed to a mixed political-judicial district office during the reorganization of the administration in 1855. Similar first instance offices were established in the seats of the former judicial districts, which were originally subject to Rakovník. The mixed districts ceased to exist in 1868, when the district governor's office was established again. It was formed by the judicial districts of Rakovník and Křivoklát. In 1919-1928, it was called the district political administration, and in 1928-1945 the district office.
Archival History
In 1933, the former municipal archive of Rakovník took over part of the files from the registry of the district office. A large part of the fonds was destroyed during the relocation of the district national committee from the district office building. Gradually, the fonds was consolidated in the archives in Rakovník from the 1950s. It was organized and inventoried there.
