- Scope and content:
- Jews were not allowed to settle in Banská Bystrica as it was a mining city, so information about Jews only appears after 1850. Jews are mentioned in the following documents: minutes of the city council and the council board (1850-1922); a regulation on the equality of Jews and other citizens (1851); Jakub Weiss buying a house in the city (1854); a list of traders and craftsmen in the city (1857); protest of traders against the settling of Jewish traders (1858, 1861, 1862); Jewish entrepreneurs in Banská Bystrica (1861); list of Jews in Banská Bystrica (1862); trade licenses (1862); report on the Jewish Religious Community in Banská Bystrica and the Jewish school (1862, 1863, 1868, 1878); construction of a prayer house in Banská Bystrica (1868); Jewish cemetery (1885); Jewish Women's Association (1886); Hermína Löwenstein's Baby Care Centre (1887); statutes of Chevra Kadisha in Banská Bystrica (1916).
- Archival history:
- The documents were deposited in the city hall building. As early as the 19th century, the city notaries and archivists began to organise the fonds. In 1956, the archives of the city were moved into the same building. The city archives merged with the district archives.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- During the period of feudalism, Banská Bystrica was a free royal and mining city with several royal privileges. After the abolition of serfdom, the self-government was formed in the city on a different legal basis than under feudalism. It was headed by the mayor, the municipal councillors and the city notary.
