Histoire archivistique
The Salt Office conducted any business affairs connected with salt and was managed by three senators (soprasalinari) with a three-year mandate. The officials oversaw the activities and the work of the salt basins in Ston, in Dubrovnik and in the suburbs of Ploče, as well as managed the sale of salt and the purchase of foreign salt. They had to submit a report on their work and the activities of the office to the Senate.
Source immédiate d'acquisition ou de transfert
The fonds has been linked to the archive since its inception. In times of the Dubrovnik Republic, the books of the fonds were stored in the Salt Office. They were relocated to the Rector’s Palace by 1891, when the archives were consolidated and were made available to researchers. Since 1920, the archive in the Rector's Palace has been functioning as an independent institution. In 1952, it was moved to the Sponza Palace, where it is still located today.
Zone du contenu et de la structure
Portée et contenu
The fonds contains books of expenditures for the maintenance of the salt basins in the Dubrovnik Republic and the costs of the fees and salaries of state employees such as guards, weighers, porters, or noblemen who managed the Salt Office, etc. The fonds also contains registers of purchases of foreign salt, registers of sales of domestic salt, registers containing entries on payments of fees to boat owners who transported the salt produced in the Republic for sale to Gabela (the Neretva River) at the end of the 16th century and in the 17th century.
The bookbinder Manuel (Emanuel Coen), who in the early 17th and the 18th centuries bound books for the needs of the Salt Office (e.g., vol. 37, no. 45), is most likely the only Jew referenced to in this fonds.
