The different copies make up a mixed group of original forms or in other words: a mixed retrieved group They were either acquired or gifts. Still today all of official files that came into being before the battle of Mohács, 29 th August 1526. were preserved by the Hungarian National Archives. They are listed among the documents of the collection before the battle of Mohács, despite the fact that they remain in their original forms or as later as copies. Although the deed of the foundation of Pannonhalma Abbey was dated in 1001 and modern copies of other early documents can be found in great quantity; the earliest original material of the collection is the document of King Charles (Károly) from 1109 that preserved the only text of King Saint Stephen I, and was written in the Greek language. The original collection cannot be researched so that it may be protected, but microfilms were made of them, which are held in the Tilm Collection of the Hungarian National Archives. Amplifications, enlargements were also made about them and can be requested or borrowed according to the reference of the original documents. A considerable amount of the material has already been published, too. These documents from certain periods and in some areas were published in significant quantity, in other areas, the number of published documents has been considerably smaller. Nearly each charter of the Arpadian age has been published. Moreover, many documents of some family archives were published as well, e.g. Apponyi, Banffy Kállay Zichy etc. Besides publishing documents in original language and whole texts translations, several were published in book form that made documents into resumes and in regesta. The critical catalogue of the documents of the Arpadian age covers nearly each royal document of the age. Both the documents published from the Angevin period and the entire written material of the Sigismund age (King Zsigmond) are published continuously in regestas.
