- Archival history:
- Originally there was an overall collection of guilds and trade, which began in the 16th century and ended in the mid-18th century. As part of the reorganisation in the 1930s, the Council's files were divided into two separate volumes, of which the older commercial files from before 1671 were assigned to collection B IV 10. The remaining collection was supplemented by further acts of the Council on trade and commerce from 1671 to 1750.
