There are mainly microfilms taken about the general assembly records (population-, military, noble, parish-, tax collector, copyholder type of records), fur­thermore about the county conventions and small scale meetings are used most commonly by historians and uni­versity students visiting us. Our researchers quite often study the pieces of our map collection. Besides the copyholders' map mentioned at the copyholding lawcourt we hold several hundreds of maps about the settlements of the county and their neighbouring areas from the 18—20 th century. Digitalization of a part of them is going to be started in the near future. This way they will be available also on electronic data carriers too. We have crea­ted a collection from the forestry plant plans (12,35 lm), where the plant plans can be found in alphabetical order of the settlements names, this way they will be easy to research by using the itemized storage catalogues made abotit them. Besides the above-mentioned collection, there is a separate archive created tor photographs, small prints, plates, picture postcards. The collection of documents of town history of Vác created between 1591 and 1956 is also re­markable. The bases of this collection was founded by Ignác Tragor location historian. The documents had been stored in the local museum for a long time and got into our archives in the 1960s and their number is still increasing. They were completed with the docu­ments referring the War of Independence of 1848/49 and the Revolution of 1956. There can be older docu­ments (among them the "patronage letters" of Prince 194 Isaszegi táncmulatság! meglúvá (1913) Einladungiura Tanzfest rent Isaszeg (1913) Invitation for Isaszeg dance amusement (1913)
