The Grodno gubernskoye (provincial) Board was founded on 01.01.182= 0 with the establishment of the Grodno guberniya (province) under the= terms of "The Institution for Governing the Gubernii [Provinces]" of= 1775. It was under the authority of the Ministry of Home Affairs and served= as an administrative police body of the guberniya (province) which w= orked under the chairmanship of a gubernator (governor). It was also = its executive body.

Before 1806 the clerical work in the Board was conducted without any= structure. In 1806, four tables (bureaus) were established. After 18= 16, the Board consisted of two dispatch offices (departments) and 4 povyt= iyes (tables, bureaus). In 1837, three departments were es= tablished. After 183, the clerical work was divided into four departments= ; each of them had two tables (bureaus).

Functions of the Departments

• The 1^st department drew up records of the gubernsko= ye (provincial) Board, promulgated laws and resolutions, supervised thei= r execution, collected information about tax collection, about accidents in = the guberniya (province). It dealt with the questions of the personne= l of the Board and other uyezd institutions. It supervised the person= s who were under police surveillance. It led gentry and village elections. I= t was closely connected with the 3^rd department "The Private Offi= ce of His Emperor=92s Majesty".
• The 2^nd department was in charge of the questions of r= eligion and public order. It supervised military units, issued passports, an= d administered oath to foreign subjects wishing to live in Russia. It contro= lled roads, bridges, transportation, and post-offices. It dealt with the que= stions of public health services.
• The 3^rd department controlled the execution of judicia= l-police and investigating cases in all municipal and zemsky [nationa= l] police departments, the work of gentry trusteeships and orphan cou= rts. It dealt with the cases of not wealthy gentry, sale of property for deb= ts, staff premises, and controlled prisons.
• The 4^th department collected general information about= the guberniya (province): population, state of agriculture, trade, f= actory-and-works industry. It controlled the structure of towns and villages= . It dealt with the appointment and control of tax collection. It approved t= he estimates of municipal dumas and ratushas (town halls). It = was in charge of the recruiting process, controlled the work of insurance co= mpanies and other offices.

After 1 February 1845, the Board office was divided into three department= s. Each department consisted of three tables (bureaus). There was a t= reasurer, a printing-house, an archive, a Guberniya (province) archit= ect, a land surveyor with the drawing [sic], a registry, and corporal= punishment and economic-administrative bodies attached to the Board.

The cases were divided into administrative (with judicial-police) and exe= cutive.

Commentary:

• lists of elected persons (for each kahal)
• official papers: every Jewish official was to sign after election (for t= he majority of kahals)
• list of voters (for many kahals)
• details about economic status of elected person (for some kahals)
• ages of elected persons (for some kahals)
• list of candidates and voting results (for some kahals)
