Abstract
This edition concerns the 19th-century inventory of Old-Polish noble courts records and municipal records created by Erazm Goldman, an archivist in the Archives of Historical Records in Piotrkow. Until now the inventory has been known only indirectly, through Adam Wolff’s publication. During World War II most of Old-Polish judicial and municipal records stored in the Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw were destroyed. Along with archival materials, also finding aids burnt down. In this situation Wolff, preparing a list of losses of pre-partition juducial and municipal records, used the Goldman’s inventory as a fundamental source about the fonds, their internal division and dates. The inventory was created probably between 1843 and 1860. The ground for this edition is a copy of the inventory made in 1872 by Goldman for a legal historian Romuald Hube. It seems that Goldman worked using lists of holdings of particular archives of historical records, produced periodically for the Governmental Committee for Justice. This resulted in dividing materials according to archives and Old-Polish judicial districts. Later the inventory enlists records of municipal courts and provincial courts, divided into series, with dates and numbers of books. In case of municipal records Goldman listed only these towns, which records were stored in a particular archives of historical records.
