Holding institution (official language):: Státní okresní archiv Jindřichův Hradec

Scope and content:: The fonds consists of judicial records covering 1850-1949 and including a variety of registers of civil and criminal documents and filing protocols. Most relevant to Jewish history are files relating to property law changes and inheritance, such as inv. 1017.

Archival history:: A substantial part of the archive of the district court in Dačice was given to the state archives in Telč in 1951, where part of the fonds was arranged and an inventory was created. The fonds was transferred to the district archives in Jindřichův Hradec in 1963. In 2010 an addition to the inventory was made.

Administrative/biographical history:: The district court in Dačice commenced its activity in 1850 as a senate court for the Dačice, Jemnice and Telč districts and was active until 1873. It remained the district court until 1949. After the annexation of the borderlands in 1938 one municipality, Urbaneč, was added to its jurisdiction. In 1945 the court took over the scope of authority of the district court in Slavonice, whose activity was not renewed after the war. After 1948 the activity of the court continued until 1960, when it was incorporated to the Jindřichův Hradec judiciary district.

System of arrangement:: The fonds is divided into four periods: 1850-55, 1855-97, 1898-1923, 1924-1949. For the periods 1850-55 and 1855-97 there are registry finding aids files- inheritance, criminal matters, service and administrative matters, disputed matters, executions, offences, files on transfers of land registries. The periods of 1898-1923 and 1924-1949 are divided to three main categories: presidial, civil and criminal agenda.
