The collection presently consists of sections formed by the team of archivists who arranged it in the middle of the nineteenth century; these sections correspond with the areas of the Duchy’s administrative activity. The resource includes books or registers, unbound documents, and letters, written on paper or parchment.
The collection is available in the reading room of the State Archive of Wroclaw.
An inventory was prepared in the 1950s by Dr.Władysław Pyrek; there exists also a German hand-written register from the 19th century.
