- Archival history:
-
According to the description of the collection "the district registry was subjected to a thorough process of selection and deaccession, but not without expert knowledge" so that during the Second World War it still consisted of 100 shelves of files. Another large-scale selection processes in the 1960s reduced the holdings of the Landratsamt (district office) to 274 units (the inventory of the district council belonging to the above-mentioned registry comprises just 104 units).
The vast majority of this collection concerns church and school matters. The second largest group are processes of replacement. In the Main State Archive Hannover 163 files of the district of Göttingen are stored, from the provenance of the district office as well as from the district committee. The inventory of the District Archives was recorded electronically in 1991 using SACHAV and WORKS. After the last district reform, which led to the merger of the districts of Göttingen and Osterode in 2016, the Göttingen District Archives were transferred to Osterode.
