Státní tajemník u říšského protektora v Čechách a na Moravě, Praha

The fonds has various creators. The main creator is the Office of the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia, respectively the Office of the State Secretary. This part of the fonds was arranged soon after the end of war, however some files (mostly with security content) were secured by the State Security (StB) and later used for prosecution of collaborators, traitors or representatives of protectorate administrative. These files were partly given back to the State Central Archives (=National Archives) in the sixties. Later in 1957, records (1938-1944) from the Slovak General Consulate in Prague were incorporated in the fonds of State Secretary. Other creator of this fonds was also the Ministry of Interior. In 1957 files from the postwar prosecution of K. H. Frank were added in the fonds. Last acquisition of the fonds were four photo albums of K. H. Frank which were given into the State Central Archive in 1973. A part of files were incorporated into the fonds the Office of the Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia, so according to the last audit report the fonds od State Secretary consists from 2793 books/files and 4 photo albums which are arranged in 184 boxes.
