- The files were accumulated by the personnel of the Regional Decommissioning Office. Presently the resource is kept at the Wroclaw State Archive, Branch of Kamieniec-Ząbkowicki.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Regional Decommissioning Office was set up under the Polish authorities’ 1946 decree on derelict and former German properties. The Office protected, preserved and controlled such derelict or deserted properties, inventoried them, leased or hired them out and sold movable properties. The Office also exercised supervision over its subordinate district offices, resolved second-instance cases and issues beyond the responsibilities of lower-tier offices. The Office was abolished by means of Resolution No. 223 of the Council of Ministers, 1951.
