Histoire archivistique
In 1891, a historian Josip Gelčić took a newly opened job position of an archivist in the Dubrovnik Archives, which was then located in the Rector's Palace. He made a summary inventory of archival material from the time of the Dubrovnik Republic. He also created this fonds.
Source immédiate d'acquisition ou de transfert
The archival material of the fonds, which was originally part of private archives, was mostly either purchased or was donated. The fonds has in this way become an integral part of the archival material of the Dubrovnik Republic. The archive was first in the Rector's Palace and has been operating as an independent institution since 1920. In 1952 the archive was relocated to the Sponza Palace where is still located today.
Zone du contenu et de la structure
Portée et contenu
The fonds is an important source for researching the life and business affairs of the people living in the Dubrovnik Republic in the period from the 15th to the 19th century. It consists primarily of accounting books of debts and receivables (dare et avere), trade journals (giornale), various notes (squarçio, libro picolo, quaderno), general ledgers (libro grande, maestro) and accounting books of different stores (quaderni stacionis).
Volume no. 23 of this fonds is an accounting book which contains various monetary claims of Isac Vita Campos, with an alphabetical index according to the first names of his debtors. It can be assumed that this book contains data on both Isac and his brother Samuel, two prominent Dubrovnik merchants who ran a very successful trading company in the 18th century. The data provide evidence that seven generations of the Campos family lived in Dubrovnik from the 17th to the 19th century. Some accounting books of various Dubrovnik merchants, for example Vicko Stefani, Martolo Đurđević and Benko Resti, also contain data on their affairs with Jewish business partners (vols. 32, 43, 44).
