The collection houses the papers of the Provincial Board of Augustow. Among its materials are ukases from the Governor of the Kingdom of Poland and circulars of the Ministry of Interior, as well as documents from the Commission for Internal and Religious Affairs, the administrative service and the attorney general of the Kingdom of Poland. The collection also holds documents on the regulation of stipend allocations at the University of Warsaw (1820) and rules for artisans and manufacturers living in towns and cities (1820-33). <br/><br/> The collection also includes files on the establishment and operation of factories, construction and renovation of houses, bridges and roads, logging of state-owned forest, demarcation of the border between Russia and Prussia and the administrative division of the governorate of Augustow. It also holds data on economic activities throughout the governorate, which include the local government's incomes and expenses (including income from the alcohol trade), demographic statistics and data on military recruitment. Various historical and geographical data, including schematics of cities and towns in the governorate, is included in the collection. <br/><br/> Several files in the governorate's collection include data on the local Jewish population. This includes statistical accounts and other information on Jewish cultural and social practices: papers on the construction of private houses, synagogues and Jewish schools; on communal activities (including data on Hasidic communities); on the trade of Jewish books; on the rights and duties of traditional Jews, including the tax on wearing traditional Jewish garb; data on Jewish communal funds and taxation and financial assistance to children of Jewish soldiers; and data on Jewish apostasy.
The documents of the provincial board (gubernskoe pravlenie) of Augustow were kept in the Belarusian Central State Historical Archives in Grodno until 1957, when they were transferred to the Lithuanian Central State Archives in Vilnius. They are currently kept at the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius.
The provincial board of Augustow was established on May 3 1837 as part of the reorganisation of the former commission of Augustow voivodeship. It was the highest administrative authority of the governorate and supervised the activities of the local administrative, communal, law enforcement and judicial authorities. It was also responsible for the supervision of industrial, medical cultural and other organisations which functioned throughout the governorate. The provincial board functioned until the abolition of the governorate of Augustow in 1866.
