Acquisition

In 1963 the fonds of the Ignác Etrich company was transferred from the Texlen 11 Plant in Horní Staré Město to the business archives of the state-owned enterprise Texlen. A supplementary inventory of this fonds was carried out in 1976. After the discovery of additional records, a decision was taken to set up a new arrangement for the fonds. The fonds now has a combined inventory and three temporary ones. The fonds is kept in the depository of the State District Archives in Trutnov.
