System of arrangement:: The files of political and court paperwork were kept separately according to a file key from the start of the 19th century and divided into several groups. The registry of economic paperwork lacks a system of organisation and it is kept in a fragmentary fashion; only from the most recent period has part of the correspondence been kept in chronological order.
