- Scope and content:
- The documents of the fonds concern the activities of the state administration and its departments. In the catalogued presidium files, which have been preserved from 1925-1938, there are some Judaica, or thematically usable documents. These include, in particular, the minutes of the constituent meeting of the district council in Hurbanovo from of March 1929, an overview of the traders and craftsmen in the district of Hurbanovo according to their nationality from June 1929, a register of politically unreliable persons - a list of active Communists from 1929, a circular about Jewish beggars from Carpathian Ruthenia in Slovakia from 1933, lists of Communist candidates in the 1935 election to the district councils, information on anti-Semitism in Poland and the immigration of Polish Jews to Czechoslovakia from October 1937, and information on anti-Jewish leaflets in Slovakia from 1937.
- Archival history:
- After the disappearance of the creator and before the annexation of the territory of the Hurbanovo district by Hungary in November 1938, the fonds was moved to Nové Mesto nad Váhom from where only a small part returned after 1945. The fonds was taken over in 1954 by the then District Archives in Hurbanovo. In 1961, the fonds was partly catalogued. After the disappearance of this institution, the fonds was moved, in the 1960s, to the District Archives in Komárno, the predecessor of the institution in which it is currently stored. Additions to the fonds were taken over by the Archives in 1965, 1987 and 1990 from the then State District Archives in Trenčín. In 1983, the fonds was again partially catalogued. It is currently classified arranged and partially inventoried. So far it has been made available only due to two thematic catalogues on the history of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Labour Movement which only deal with part of the series. The remainder of the fonds, especially the administrative files, will be more widely usable after being made accessible by modern finding aids.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The District Office in Stará Ďala (now Hurbanovo) was established on 1 January 1923. Its predecessor was the District Office in Hurbanovo (Žitnodvorský). The District Office was seated in Hurbanovo (Stará Ďala). In 1923-1928 it was part of Nitra County. At the time of its establishment, the district was formed by 26 municipalities in 15 notary offices. The District Office was the first instance administrative authority. The elected district council was the self-governing body. It could set up commissions to deal with various matters, the establishment of the Financial Commission being mandatory. The district council was headed the District Chief, whose executive body was the district council. The authority of the District Office was strengthened after the abolition of counties in 1928. The District Office in Stará Ďala ceased to exist as a result of the annexation of its territory by Hungary due to the 1st Vienna Arbitration in November 1938.
