- Archival history:
- The documents were first kept in the main State Archive Hannover under the designations of Cal. Des. 24 Osnabr. and Hann. Des. 9 Geh. Registr. Osn. In 1869 (Acc. 4/69). The files were transferred to the newly established State Archive Osnabrück. There they received the collection reference numbers Rep 101 A (previously Cal. Br. 24, mainly from the period of the reign of the the first Guelph bishop Ernst August I, later Rep 110 I) and Rep 101 B (previously Hann 9, mostly from the period of the reign of the last Guelph bishop Friedrich von York, later Rep 110 II)/ From then on, they were referred to as "Landesarchiv" ("State Archive”).
