- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the fate of the Old Polish town records of the Radomsko District during the partitions of Poland, and most of all present to the readers their 19th-century inventory. At the time of the Duchy of Warsaw, the records of the Radomsko District were transferred from the town chancelleries to the regional land and mortgage archives. In 1855, during their transfer to the Archives of Historical Records in Piotrków Trybunalski, they were inventoried. The records were moved again in 1882, this time from Piotrków Trybunalski to Warsaw, where most of them were burned in 1944. The inventory lists 107 books from six towns in the district. Based on the comparative and statistical analysis of the inventory it was possible to assign surviving books to those enumerated in the 19th-century inventory and determine the extent of the losses in this resource caused during World War II. The com parison of the original state of the town records with the current status quo reveals the true extent of the damage. Only 16% of the books have survived, constituting records from only two out of the district's six towns.
