- Scope and content:
- The documentation created by the Association of Merchants, comprising administrative books and records, provides details on store owners in Senta and its surroundings. Many of them relate to the Jewish community since many Jews were involved in the trading business. Relevant data can be found in the following administrative books: No. 3 – Register of stores with Index of Places, compiled for towns of Horgoš, Mol, Ada and Kanjiža, 1901/1947; No. 4 – Register of stores with Index, Senta I, 1920/1945; No. 5 - Register of stores with Index, Senta, 1941/1947; No. 6 – Register of Private Owners, Ada, Horgoš, Kanjiža, Martonoš, Mol., 1920/1947; No. 7 – Register of Private Owners, Senta, 1920/1950; No. 8 – Register of Carriage Drivers and Transporters, 1920/1948. The records created after WWII include no data relating to Jews.
- Archival history:
- The unarranged and incomplete records were transferred to the Archives in 1975. The finding aids were compiled in 1977 and 1985.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- No exact date of the establishment of the Association of Merchants can be determined. The oldest record preserved dates from 1918, although some data was recorded as early as 1901. The association was at first named “The Association of the Merchants of Senta”. Based on article 354 of the Law on Stores of 1931, a new association was established named The Association of the Merchants of the City and the County of Senta, with the seat in Senta. It was not recorded if the Association was active in the period 1941-1944. It ceased to operate in August 1952 when the Chamber of Commerce and Catering for Senta County was founded.
