Biographical History

In 1848, the District Governor's Office of Strakonice was established including the judicial districts of Horažďovice and Strakonice. In 1855, the political and judicial agendas were merged, and the Strakonice Mixed District Office was established. In 1868, the District Governor's Office of Strakonice was restored, consisting of the judicial districts of Strakonice, Horaždovice and Volyně. In 1919, it was renamed the Strakonice District Political Administration and in 1928 the Strakonice District Office. In 1945, it was changed to the District National Committee of Strakonice.

Archival History

The fonds was processed and inventoried in 1961 in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň and transferred to the State District Archives in Strakonice in the following years. Since the 1970s, the fonds has been gradually complemented. The documents from the first handling period have been preserved only in fragments. In 1969 and 1984, a catalog of presidium files I and II were made.
