"Acquisition" . "After the abolition of the Amtsgericht Kaaden (District Court in Kadan) in 1945 the documents remained stored in the court building in Kadan. In 1954, they were taken over by the State Archives Kadan (the then archives of Karlovy Vary region) and were provisionally arranged. After the 1960 territorial administration reform the archive collection was transferred to the State Archives in Litomerice in 1968 (since 1974, the State Regional Archives Litomerice). There, some civil files found in the Regional Court in Most and some criminal files from the archive collection of the Regional Court in Most were added to the archive collection. The complete archive collection was arranged and inventoried in 1968. In 1979, the archive collection was transferred to the District Archives Chomutov, based in Kadan (since 1992, the State District Archives Chomutov, based in Kadan)."@eng . .
