- Archival history:
- The records of the notary public Bruno Rogalski were initially stored in his notary office in Dobczyce, and then in the interwar period in the archives of the notary chamber in Krakow. These records were taken over by the State Archives in Krakow after World War II.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Brunon Rogalski (Bruno Rogalski) ran a notary office in Dobczyce in the years 1876-1909. He worked as the Imperial-Royal notary in the Krakow national court. His notarial work was based on the Austrian notary act of 25 July 1871. According to this legislation, he was required to prepare various documents in the form of notary deeds, including writing family law contracts, i.e. pre-nuptial contracts, in particular the granting of lifelong stipends, receipt of dowry, recognition of debt between spouses and contracts concluded between spouses such as loans, purchases and exchanges. The exclusive competence of notaries was the right to grant private documents the power of a public document, i.e. accepting and revoking last will testaments, certifying a document, certifying that a given person is still alive, certifying resolutions of general meetings of associations and companies, protest declarations on promissory notes and commercial documents. The form of a notarial deed was required for activities undertaken by blind and deaf people as well as those who were illiterate. In addition, notaries were authorised to make changes in entries in mortgage books, to accept money and securities into deposit and to draw up wills. Notaries formed a notary collegiate body with an executive organ, i.e. the notary chamber which was headed by a president elected for 3 years.
