The Pertinence Archive contains records and documents arranged according to subject matter; they were created between the 10th and 20th century.
The section Finances includes numerous documents which are of interest from a Jewish perspective. From the year 1420, there is a document containing a settlement of 50 florin by Anton Gamp and Lucia Häggin and her son Hans Heinrich, which was relevant in a dispute with the Jews Mossin [?] and Joseph, as the violator of Abraham Jud. These are two promissory notes. An index of the ‘Seckelamt’ Schaffhausen from June 1662 contains details of Jews who had been arrested before. A resolution from 1737 deals with the exchange of money with Jews from Bavaria and Württemberg. A coin commission protocol of 1774 states that in order to prevent Jews and tippers (coin counterfeiters) opening the floodgates, the coins that had been "discredited" up to that point were to retain their value. Furthermore, there is a customs regulation from 1663, which also deals with the so-called Jewish customs duty. A file from the year 1769 includes the Jewish customs duty. The file also contains a list of names of Jews from Gailingen, Randegg, Worblingen, Hagenbach, Wangen, Endingen, “Tiljngen“ and “Iringen“. A file dating from 1810 includes a lists of names which is to be seen in the context of the Napoleonic continental blockade against Great Britain. It concerns Levantine cotton, which was intended for shipment to Strasbourg, and also indigo on account of two Jews in Gailingen and Hohenems.

- Archival history:
- The collection was probably part of the State Archive from its beginning.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The State Archive is the archive of the Swiss Canton of Schaffhausen and its predecessors. It safeguards the historical tradition of the canton and the former city-state, preserves it and makes it accessible to the public. The archives of the former city-state of Schaffhausen until 1830 form the historical core of the tradition. Also of great importance are the holdings of the monasteries of Allerheiligen and St. Agnes in Schaffhausen, which were dissolved during the Reformation, the Paradies monastery in Schlatt and St. Georgen in Stein am Rhein. The State Archive also keeps the archives of the historical guilds and today's guild associations.
