Purpose
The purpose of this project is to designate the correct archive for each judicial district in the Czech Republic to make it easier for researchers to know which archive to use when researching.
Instruction
Step 1: Access the Scanned Gazetteer Pages
Choose the Bohemian Gazetteer or the Moravian Gazetteer. You will need to download them for this project, due to the large size of each file.
Step 2: Determine which archive is connected to your judicial district
- Determine which archive is over your judicial district using this map or this map. You can use both if it makes it easier to see the district and archive boundaries.
Step 3: Update the Gazetteer Spreadsheet
- Find every mention of the judicial district in the gazetteer spreadsheet and add the archive in the correct column.
- It's already sorted in alphabetical order by district name to make it easier. You will need to do this for every sheet labeled from a to z. Keep in mind there may be spelling variations between the map and the spreadsheet.
