The collection “Record selections – Alphabetical Leopoldinum”, held by the Tyrolean regional archive of Innsbruck, is a non-Jewish assemblage with a few Jewish-related documents.
The assemblage, covering the period c.1610–35, was created in the late 17th century and includes incoming records of the Privy Council and the territorial Serenity filed alphabetically by the surname of the consignor. In c.1900 this collection was newly filed and divided into Series I and Series II. Correspondence records of the dissolved subject group IX of the collection “Memorabilia of Ambras” (q.v. JMH-071 in the Yerusha database) were added to this collection. Repertory B 19a (I), the index to the alphabetical Leopoldinum, can be consulted for Jewish-related references [q.v. Beimrohr, Das Tiroler Landesarchiv und seine Bestände, 101]. The repertory is sorted by subjects as well as names, so searching for Jewish names will locate, for example, at least two records from 1624–32 of Series I concerning the legal affairs of the Jewish businessman Abraham May of Innsbruck and Samuel Moravia of Bolzano. Records may be ordered by indicating the collection, series and year of the Jewish-related references.
- 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 Privy Council established by Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol in c.1564 was succeeded by the Second Privy Council, which arose in Innsbruck in the early 17th century with the assistance of Maximilian III, the governor of Tyrol and Anterior Austria from 1602–19. Like the earlier Privy Council, this commission of loyal councillors was the highest administration and judiciary authority in Tyrol and Anterior Austria until 1749. The Upper Austrian government as administrative body and the chamber for financial matters were subordinated to this commission. In 1749, the administrative triad of Privy Council, government and chamber was abolished in the administrative reforms of Maria Theresa and replaced by the comprehensive authority “Repräsentation und Kammer” (Representation and chamber) [q.v. Beimrohr, Das Tiroler Landesarchiv und seine Bestände, 87–88].
