In 1961 the fonds was also arranged. In recent years most of the fonds material was transferred to the Brno Diocese Archive (2013) and a part was transferred to the Moravian Land Archives (2015). However, materials from the fonds which pertain to the Jewish history have been kept at the Brno City Archives.
