In December of 1949, all church vital records prior to civil registration (1895) were declared state property. In 1952 the state began centralizing all these records into state regional archives [''státní oblastní archívy'']. In many cases records as late as the 1940s have been placed in state regional archives. Registers more recent than those in the state regional archives are still at local city or subdistrict registration offices [''matriční úřady'']. | In December of 1949, all church vital records prior to civil registration (1895) were declared state property.
