The fonds is mainly of an administrative nature. The Presidium of the Provincial Office (hereinafter PPO) monitored the economic, financial and personnel agenda of district authorities and district commissions, and provincial institutions. The personnel agenda is located in all departments of the PPO registry. The PPO-RAV files (the Reich administration) mainly concern German citizenship, name changes, requests for exemptions from the Nuremberg Laws, etc. The individual files also contain orders on the status of Jews in public life, salary suspension of Jewish employees and additional entries of first names of Jewish persons in the registers. 

The fonds consists of the registry finding aids (minutes, indices, collections) and file material. The original file order was preserved during the organization, with the exception of the remnants of the administration from the Reich order (RAV), which was organized by subject groups. Another exception to organizing according to the original file plan is the creation of the so-called alphabetical collection of personal files. The same inventory unit was not always selected during the inventory. Sometimes the first subgroup was chosen as the inventory unit, other times the last subgroup, i.e. the file.
