Dokumentowanie czynności przy opiekach „mniejszych” przez łódzki magistrat w latach 1832–1876
Documentation of the „minor” guardianships activities by magistrate of Łódź in the years 1832–1876

Summary/Abstract: The distinction between “major” and “minor” guardianships appeared with the Civil Code of Kingdom of Poland in 1825. The former was created with participation of the courts of peace (for wealthier pupils) and the latter – with the participation of local magistrates (for less wealthy). Documentation of the „minor” guardianships activities was regulated by administrative regulations. The separated court files were created for every new case. Most of them included document initiating the guardianship, one protocol of the family council’s meeting and the inventory of property. Custodial data rarely documented more activities. The magistrate officials created protocols of the family council’s meetings, and reports about the number of the guardianships establishments based on the forms sent by courts and the governmental commissions. Reports and official correspondence between magistrate and court’s and administrative authorities were documented in the general files.
