LAND CADASTRES OF THE 19TH CENTURY

I have been examining cadastral charts on your internet page. I would like to know more about the ordering of reproductions: types of reproductions, prices, how to order reproductions and pay for them, as well as the issue of their delivery.

Our staff can make reproductions on A4 format paper or larger, in colour or black and white, they can also make a CD copy or e-mail you (one sheet at a time) and you can print it out yourself.

For each sheet we charge the costs of scanning of 3.05 EUR, for CD you need to pay 2.09 EUR, for DVD the price is 2.92 EUR, and for the print the price depends on the size and the method of print and ranges from 0.15 to 2.50 EUR.

You can place your order in person in our reading room or in writing (also by fax or e-mail).

Generally, reproductions are made within a week, only exceptionally (and depending on the reproduction method chosen) they can be made immediately.

You may collect reproductions personally and pay for them at the Archives’ cashier or we can send them to you by mail, together with the invoice.

The image of the cadastre that I was viewing on the Internet is not clear enough. It is impossible to make out the numbers of the individual parcels and borders. Do you by any chance have shots of better quality?

The resolution of the images that you are viewing on the internet is considerably lower than the resolution of the images that are available on the computer in our reading rooms, which we can make reproductions of. We suggest you order a CD copy or a print of the required image in our reading room. When printing from the CD copy, best results are achieved if you are printing in the original size, which is why you have to choose only a fragment of the image for A3 print.

The search for a particular cadastral community (place) by using the interface on your webpage was unsuccessful. Is there another name for this particular cadastral community?

We suggest you try writing only a part of the name in the search field DRUGO IME K. O., and the rest of the name is substituted by a star. This is especially important when you are searching for places that begin with Sveti or Šent (ex. Sv. Vid, Št. Vid, Šentvid) or when you are searching for places that were written differently due to historical development.

For example:

-        search Sv.* or Št.*

-        search Kozar* (searching for a place Kozaršče, present day Kozarišče)

As help in your research you can also use scans of how Carniola and Styria were divided on cadastral communities. These scans can be found under S205 map 5 and S206 map 6.

It is also possible that the folder for the cadastral community that you are looking for is not preserved or is kept by institutions abroad.

Do you have data on owners and the size of the parcels of land?

Data on the owners and the size of the land parcels for Carniola can be found in protocols. The size of the land parcels is stated in fathoms, square fathoms and acres.
