Summary/Abstract: After the promulgation of the new Code of Canon Law by the pope John Paul II in 1983 a new legislative movement started in Poland which was to change current synodal law and to update it to new norms of universal law. In the synodal documents apart from the statutes themselves there are other normative acts, usually in additions, which had been issued by the diocesan bishop earlier or during thediocesan synod. The statutes of central diocesan archives are included there and they basically apply tothe diocesan historical archives. On the example of selected synodal documents this article presents the statutes of diocesan archives, in particular normative acts concerning historical archives.
