Provisions regulating documentation management in the archives of courts of general jurisdiction in Poland in the years 1985–2019 In December 2018, Minister of Justice issued an order with instructions on the organization and scope of activities of institutional archives, e.g. in courts of general jurisdiction. It must have been welcomed with enthusiasm because the previous archive instruction came into force in 1985. The changing political system in Poland, a significantly higher level of social awareness on the significance of documentation management, also in courts, and the development of modern technologies made the 30-year old instruction outdated, which started causing considerable problems to archivists employed in court archives. The aim of this article is to review legal and normative acts implemented in the years 1985–2019 which concerned documentation management in institutional archives in courts of general jurisdiction. Due to the variety of cases considered by courts and the fact that these institutions compile documentation in massive numbers, the number of applicable legal acts is also impressive. The author analyses in detail key excerpts from the current archive instruction and Minister of Justice Regulation of 5 March 2004 on storing case files and transferring them to state archives or to be destroyed.
