- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains documents of the political administration of Podtatranská county. Documents mentioning Jews are: applications from rabbis for Czechoslovak citizenship and revision of applications (1923, 1925); information on mass immigration of Jews from Poland (1924); statutes of Jewish associations (Talmud Torah, Chevra Kadisha, Jewish Women's Association) (1923-26); Jewish emigration to Palestine (1926); Jewish Party in Šafárikovo (1927); and reports on industrial enterprises (1923-28).
- Archival history:
- When the branch ceased to exist, its documents, along with the documents of the county, were stored in the building of the Regional Office in Bratislava. In 1954-1955, the State Archives in Bytča took them over. In 1956, the fonds was chronological-numerically arranged and in 1970 the original arrangement in groups was restored and the fonds was inventoried.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The political administration office was established in 1923 as an administration centre for the districts of Rožňava, Revúca and Šafárikovo which belonged to Podtatranská County, but their remoteness from the seat of the county in Liptovský Mikuláš made it difficult to administer them. The branch ceased to exist along with Podtatranská County in 1928.
