The Financial Office handled issues related to trade, taxation, manufacture, transportation and customs in the Caucasian region.
Some of the Office's files mention the Jewish residents of the region. These include requests by Jews to receive government-sponsored loans; a report on Jewish smugglers, possibly from Odessa, who were caught by a Russian official on a steamship in the Black Sea (1861); correspondence on residence and trade permits for Jews, such as an 1859 papers on a registration of Jewish apprentices in Tbilisi, and a correspondence from 1865 on a request by a Jewish merchant to open a goldsmith shop in Stavropol.
- Archival history:
- The archive of the Caucasian Viceroyalty was evacuated from Tbilisi during World War I. Many files were lost during the archive's transportation and temporary storage in Krasnodar. In the 1920s the materials of the Russian administration in Tbilisi were transferred to the newly established Main Historical Archive of Georgia. In 1939 this archive became part of the Central State Historical Archive of Georgia, the predecessor of the current Central Historical Archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Russian rule in the Caucasian region was represented by a Viceroy during three different periods. The first Caucasian Viceroyalty that functioned in practice as a governorate existed in late 18th century, the second was established in 1844 and liquidated in 1882, and the third existed in the first decades of the 20th century. The materials of the current collection relate to the second period, when the Viceroyalty served as the main Russian administrative authority in the Caucasus. Its city of residence was Tbilisi.
