- Archival history:
-
When they evacuated in 1915, the Offices left the entire archive of records, which had undergone culling several times, in Łomża except for records of cases that had not been closed. The latter were most likely almost completely destroyed over time. The records that remained on site were taken over by the State Archives in Łomża, established after 1918. After its dissolution in 1926, the collections were transferred to the Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw.
During World War II, the records were most likely partially destroyed, and the rest were merged into the Central Archives of Historical Records. In 1962, the collections were supplemented with a few acquisitions reclaimed from the Soviet Union. During this period, the records in the collections were inventoried. Two provisional book inventories were prepared: the Chancellery of the Senior Factory Inspector and the Łomża Guberniya Office for Factory and Mining. One unit belonging to the Office for Workers' Insurance was incorrectly entered into the inventory of the Office for Factory and Mining.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Office of the Senior Factory Inspector of the Łomża Guberniya was established in 1897 when factory supervision offices were established in the Łomża Guberniya. This office was directly subordinated to the District Inspector in Warsaw. From 1903, the inspectorates were in reality subordinated to the local general administration. The responsibilities of the Senior Factory Inspector included: execution of the provisions of the gubernial supervision offices, supervision of compliance with the provisions of the Industrial Act, regulation of mutual relations between manufacturers and workers and arbitration in the event of conflicts between them, issuing applications based on penal protocols for non-compliance with the provisions of factory legislation. Complaints about the activities of the Chief Inspector had to be addressed to the Guberniya Offices. In 1915, Offices in Łomża guberniya were evacuated deep into Russia. They ceased to exist in 1918.
