Slovakia Archives and Libraries: Difference between revisions

In Slovakia there are seven regional archives: Banská Bystrica, Bratislava, Bytča, Košice, Levoča, Nitra, and Prešov. The seven regional archives are the repositories for most pre-1900 parish books and, therefore, are the archives of primary importance to Slovak 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archives house an enormous amount of important material including early cadastral records, maps, architectural plans, historical documents, court records, administrative papers, etc.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 Slovakia are open to the public.
