- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains the registers of records issued by county institutions including the general assembly of the county, the courts of justice and members of the county leadership. The records refer to the administration of the county, the activity of the courts, economic structures, social relationships (especially between landlords and serfs), fiscal and property censuses, military issues including drafting, quartering and maintenance of the imperial army and construction of houses, roads and bridges. Documents are mentioned concerning the events of the 1848 revolution and the measures taken afterward to restore the old order. Material of Jewish relevance concerns controls on immigration, the statute of Jewish craftsmen and merchants, the issue of passports and court cases involving Jews.
- Archival history:
- The inventoried registers are preserved by the Romanian National Archives, Directorate of Sălaj County.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Middle Szolnok County is mentioned as early as the 14th century as having its own institutions and jurisdiction. Under Austrian rule in 1733 it became part of the Transylvanian Principality and contained one town and 141 localities. Under the 18th-century territorial reorganisation, it comprised two towns and 143 villages in four districts, with the county seat in Zalău. This system lasted until the revolution of 1848, after which a military administration was imposed for several years. Middle Szolnok County was restored in 1861 and lasted until 1876, when it was included in the newly created Sălaj County, which remained until the communist administrative reforms of 1950.
- System of arrangement:
- The fonds is arranged into thematic sections, within which the records are organised chronologically.
