Acquisition
The material of the fonds of Amtsgericht Žacléř was transferred in 1960 from Kuks (today's State District Archives in Trutnov) to the State District Archives in Zámrsk where the fonds was arranged and inventoried. Zámrsk also took over auxiliary books from the State District Archives in Trutnov. Since 1974, the fonds was deposited in Zámrsk and because of deficiencies identified during the revision of the fonds a new inventory was created. In 1992, the archive material was transferred from Zámrsk to the State District Archives in Trutnov, and in 2012 an interim inventory was created.
