=== Regional Archives === | |||
In the Czech Republic there are seven regional archives. Former Bohemian Region is served by five regional archives in Praha, Litomerice, Plzen, Zamrsk, and Trebon. Former Moravian Region is served by two regional archives in Opava and Brno. The seven regional archives are the repositories for most pre-1900 parish books and, therefore, are the archives of primary importance to Czech genealogical researchers. In addition to early parish books, the regional archives house an enormous amount of important material including early cadastral records, maps, architectural plans, historical documents, court records, administrative papers, etc. The archives maintain extensive catalogs of their holdings but, so far, these catalogs are not available online. The regional archives of the Czech Republic are open to the public. | |||
