In 1961, it was transferred to the State District Archives Česká Lípa. In the following years the fonds gained several acquisitions, especially deeds and land registers. In 1980 the archive of the town of Nový Bor was rearranged but it was largely based on the lists created for the first inventory.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Nový Bor originated in the 17th century as a village on the estate of Sloup when the local abandoned farm was resettled. Since the second half of the 18th century the glass production and trade began to grow. The town of Nový Bor was the seat of the district court in 1850-1938 and the seat of the Amtsgericht (district court) in 1938-1945. In 1848-1855 and 1868-1945 the town of Nový Bor fell within the political district of Česká Lípa and in 1855-1867 within the political district of Nový Bor.
