Dr. Imre SOÓS A KALOCSAI ÉRSEKSÉG LEVÉLTÁRA (KALOCSA ARCHIEPISCOPAL ARCHIVES) 6300 KALOCSA, Szabadság tér 1. Tel. 155 Archivist: László SZÉKELY The archbishopric of Kalocsa was founded by St. Stephen at about 1000. The first ordinary was bishop Astrik who has brought the crown of Stephen from Rome, from Pope Sylvester II. Shortly after Mohács (1529) Kalocsa fell into the hands of the Turks. So the archival material produced up to this date was destroyed, the records begin with 1691 only. The records on church government and administration of the archives total 325 running metres and are divided into several archival groups, or subgroups, respectively. The most important subgroups of the archival group of the archdiocesan office are the records of the parishes belonging to its area (from 1724), the copies of their registers, the canonical visitations and the most copious and most ancient mixed records. There are separate archival groups for the Court Christian, the seminary, the public school, the inspectorate of schools, the Teachers' House, the St. Augustine Association, the institute for the female teachers of religion and the diocesan savings bank.
