https://doi.org/10.4467/2391-890XPAH.16.001.14889The present discussion is a part of research on the history of the royal archive and treasury in Kraków in the Old Polish period. The author focuses on the inventory actions undertaken in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, drawing particular attention to the commissions delegated to conduct the audit of the treasury and the archive. The method of appointing members of the commission and their number (both on paper and in reality), presented over the period of 300 years, show how initiatives of an archival character (concerning the most important institution of this type back then) were undertaken, and how effective their application was in practice.
