The material was originally disorganized and therefore it was rearranged in accordance with the structure of the office. In addition, the archivists organized a specific set of documents, consisting of sheets of the Census of Jewish property (as of September 1940), and sorted the material by Slovak districts. Archival materials are registered as incomplete.
