The fonds is divided by centuries and covers the period from the 14th to the 19th century. It contains fragments of various books of the Chancellery and the Public Notary, wills and testaments, private letters, letters sent to the authorities of the Dubrovnik Republic from Italian and Ottoman cities, as well as some letters sent from other various parts of the territory of the Republic. Some of these documents were health certificates, petitions to the Minor Council, Criminal Court records, bills of exchange, various receipts of payments and bills.

The State Archives in Dubrovnik have preserved only a few wills and testaments related to Jews so that these documents are of great value and importance for any research related to the life of Jewish population in Dubrovnik during the Dubrovnik Republic. One of those rare documents can be found in this fonds (17th century, vol. 16, no. 8). Jewish people are also referenced in some documents related to court investigations. The fonds also shows records of several letters from the 16th century, that some Jews from Ancona wrote to a Ragusan nobleman, from the Giorgi family (e.g., 16th century, vol. 3, no. 171).
