The rest of the fonds was originally kept in the District Archives in Holešov. From here it was passed on to the Kroměříž branch of the State Archives Brno in 1957. In 1964 part of the documents were added to the Vrbno family archive in the State Archives in Brno. Today the fonds is kept in the Moravian Provincial Archives in Brno.
