The Landrat des Kreises Briesen created the records from ca. 1939 to ca. 1944. After World War II, they were deposited in the archives of the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland, located in Warsaw. The records were selected for filming from Main Commission, Record Group 82 and were microfilmed during 1992 and 1993. The microfilm was received at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives on 23 Apr. 1993.
