FORUM AI EMPIRE OF ARCHIVES
I would like to thank the forum’s editors for their encouraging comments on the initial text, and AI’s anonymous reviewer for helpful suggestions as well as valuable information and his own recent articles provided by Imre Ress. In addition to the sources I cite below, my knowledge of the subject derives from years of research in the archives of the former Habsburg region and the preparation of two archival studies on Hungary (co-authored by Ress) and Romania for the volume edited by Charles W. Ingrao, A Guide to East-Central Archives. Minneapolis, 1998 (=Austrian History Yearbook. 1998. Vol. 29. Pt. 2). Pp. 43-81 and 105-121.
