Archiwum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego 
The archive of Jagiellonian University was created in 14th century. The parchment and paper documents concerning kongs' privileges were saved together with various valuables of the University in the treasury of the Great College (Collegium Maius). In the end of 15th century the archive possessed over 250 parchments. The archive also stored statutes and resolutions of University authorities, letters, sentences of the chancellors' court. During a few centuries the archive was neglected. The sistematization and studying works began in the half of 18th century and it is continuated to the present time. During the World War II the holdings were preserved in the building of the State Archive in Grodzka street and in Tyniec Abbey.
