Klára Dóka: Map Collections in the Church Archives More than 6000 maps belong to the documents amounting to 15 000 running metres stored in the church archives, The bulkof the drawings illustrates the church properties which amounted at the end of the last century to about 2 millión acres /l acre = = 0,57 hectar/, i.e. to 4,8 per cent of the country's entire territory at the end of the last century. After 1920 the ír area was decreased to 916 000 acres. 14 per cent of those maps are being stored in the protestant archives while the others belong to the catholic collections. The largest map collections are being stored in the Primatial Archives of Esztergom and in the Economical Archives of the Archdiocese of Kalocsa. The economical activities of the large reál estates may be followed in the continuous collections from the middle of the XVIII-th century up to the second utorld war. Most damage has been caused to the maps stored in the diocesan archives. RelatiVely many maps are being protected in the archives of the chapters and monastic orders. The most importatnt map types préserved in the church collections are, as follows: - estate boundary fixing and estate dividing maps, - agricultural and forestry maps, - cadastral and surveying maps, - maps relating to fee estates and commassations, - historical maps , í-.

: "/ - church administration maps. The bulk of the maps is of hand-written execution, although the fond of the agricultural and forestry maps have often consisted of printed and blueprinted cadastral maps. The collections can be used by the researchers very fruitfully. They give useful information concerníng the earlier property relations as well as the structures of the rural settlements,
