This study presents the history and functioning of Odorhei district, its administrative division into main district (Odorhei), branch districts (Cristur, Brăduţ), and then into small districts; it also presents the state officials who had fulfilled the administrative and judicial functions of the institution (the captain, the district magistrate, the royal magistrate, the clerk of the Court, the jurymen). The later occurred changes in this mode of organization are presented.
The archives of the institution were preserved first at the residence of the district officials, then in “Székely Támadt” Castle, and at the end in the well-equipped rooms of the judiciary building, built in 1733. Until the beginning of the 19th century the archives rested with the clerks of the district, being taken over by the archivist. They consist of 300 running-meters of documentary material, most of which being written in Hungarian language, a smaller part in Latin (those of Iosif II’s times) and those from between 1850-1860, in German. The oldest piece is a selling agreement dating from 1506.
