There is a record from 1887 on the death of Rabbi Salomon Nordmann causing hardship for his family. As Nordmann was a French citizen, his surviving dependants initially received no support from the Solothurn municipality, whereupon a correspondence ensued between the Jewish Community and the city.

- Archival history:
- The collection has been transferred to the archive on a continual basis.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The State Archives hold the documents of parliament, government and administration of the canton of Solothurn. In addition, there are documents of independent corporations, institutions subject to cantonal public law and of natural or legal persons, as long as they fulfil public tasks of the canton. The holdings of the State Archives comprise around 8,500 linear metres. The oldest fragment of a text dates from the end of the 8th century. The oldest completely preserved document dates from 1147. In terms of quantity, the focus is clearly on more recent administrative documents. The holdings of the Jewish Community were transferred to the State Archive in 2013.
