All-terrestrial charters in the archive of the grand dukes of Lithuania: composition, signs of provenance and modern places of storage of originals

Summary/Abstract: Based on the accounting documentation of the archives of the second half of the 16th - first half of the 20th centuries, a reconstruction of the composition of the originals of the general land privileges of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which were part of the archive of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania at the end of the first quarter of the 17th century, was carried out. In 1685-1945, they were stored in the private archives of the Radziwill princes. After World War II, most of them, along with the Archive of the Nesvizh Radziwill Ordination in Warsaw, were included in the Main Archive of Ancient Acts of Poland. Some of the documents ended up in other institutions in Poland, as well as in Lithuania and Russia. As a result of the study, the current location of the acts was determined (20 out of 22 units). The author left a concordance for each of the documents, identified the originals of individual general land privileges of the GDL, which were previously considered lost or whose location was unknown.
