- Scope and content:
- The sub-series “Outgoing General Missives” (“Auslauf-Gemeine Missiven”) covers the period 1676–1771 and includes several Jewish-related documents. A parallel cartulary series, “General Missives” (“Kopialbuchserie – Gemeine Missiven”), was created, which includes transcriptions of this record series. It is preferable to work with the cartularies rather than the original records, as they include indexes which can be used to find Jewish-related materials. q.v. JMH-130 in the Yerusha database, “Upper Austrian Chamber – Cartulary series – General Missives”.
- Archival history:
- This collection was transferred to the Tyrolean Regional Archive according to the regular document transfer process stipulated by national archival regulations.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The creator of this collection was the Upper Austrian chamber, a stable commission established in 1493. This authority was responsible for the territorial fiscal administration of the county of Tyrol and Anterior Austria. Its counterpart was the Upper Austrian government, which was equivalent to the chamber and was responsible for the inner administration and judiciary of Tyrol and Further Austria. Both authorities were later subordinated to the Privy Council, which was established in the late 16th century, and subsequently to the Second Privy Council. In the administrative reformation of 1749, the Upper Austrian chamber was incorporated into the new comprehensive administration authority for Tyrol and Anterior Austria, “Repräsentation und Kammer” (Representation and Chamber), founded by Empress Maria Theresa. The jurisdiction of the Upper Austrian government also shifted to this new authority for general administration. The traditional Upper Austrian chamber and the Second Privy Council no longer existed after Maria Theresa’s reformation. [q.v. Beimrohr, Das Tiroler Landesarchiv und seine Bestände, 78.]
