There are digital databases and traditional educational inventories availableto researchers. Researches are also welcome to make use of digital libraries that containmany printed sources. The main sources database for the research on the intermediate level of administrationare district and county files kept in State Archives. The operation of commission ersdelegated to districts (1816–42) and counties (1843–1866) is sufficiently documented in 32 sets of files. The query can by extended to cover regional (voivodship, and aft er 1837– governorship) and governmental files.
