              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[Most of the archival holdings date from the 19-th and 20-th centuries. The substantial amount are the records of the local authorities and state institutions from the territory of the Lodz voivodship. Genealogical and scientific researchers benefit tremendously from church and public register records preserved by the archive. The characteristic features of the Lodz archive are the records of industrial enterprises (old factories) and economic institutions.
There are numerous archival materials of judiciary organs, political parties, educational, religious and social institutions and organizations, as well as various archives of families and land estates and the papers of individuals. The State Archive in Lodz is proud for its rich collections of ephemera, cartography and iconography. ]]></p>
