Because of the small quantity of the written material location of them did not mean a great problem. The condition changed in the 18 th century when the number of documents of general assembly increased. The decision about forming the archives of the church district was made in Adásztevel at the general assembly of the church district in 1765. The most important documents are the records and documents of the assembly. The Calvinist College got under the maintenance of the church district in 1797, legally it became an institution of the church district. It was the responsibility of the rural dean to look after the documents of the dioceses. It was ordered to arrange the archives of the county/town recorder. Location of the organized documents caused problems for a long time. To locate the county/town documents managed in 1872 in Pápa. Two years later the documents of the church district got to the town of Pápa. The first archives were settled in the yard of Calvinist College in the town of Pápa in 1934. The archives moved to its present address to Csáky street in 1969. According to our plans and hopes it will be homed at 15. March square in a few years, in a wing of the building of Nátus (the former Women's Education Institution) Extending the stock makes the location of diocese documents possible. The material of the archives is about 500 linear metres in 258 fonds.
