Sažetak
Maria Theresia’s socage tenure regulation on the territory of Croatian counties was carried out in the period from 1774 to 1780, but particular corrections and final completion of contracts for specific kinds of villeins lasted up to 1784. The procedure was carried out according to the royal provisions and instructions with minor adaptations to local conditions. Thus the socage tenure regulation instructions determined the important role of the royal commissioner for socage tenure regulation, holding of separate socage tenure regulation county councils and court sessions, the implementation of the procedure according to the local public law organization, the course of the proceedings and all the key documents needed for its implementation. These provisions were reflected in the formation of socage tenure regulation records as a separate documentation entity, and within it, the formation of a special system for the records of immediate implementation of socage tenure regulation on the level of judicial districts (iudicatus) or places within the districts. On the basis of the historical review of the arrangement and the analysis of the structure of socage tenure regulation documents a Proposal for structuring/ Virtual plan for arrangement of this documentation whole was made within the archives of Varaždin County, which fully extends to the period after socage tenure reform, i.e. to 1847. The types and structure of records created on the level of judicial districts (iudicatus) in the process of implementing the new regulation are presented in more detail. The system of judicial districts (iudicatus) as the basic implementation units is described, as well as the existence of documentation subgroups for places within judicial districts (iudicatus) if there were local differences in the composition of entire units of land (sessiones), which are the basic standard for the implementation of the new regulation. The paper points out to the existence of the identical records system on the level of judicial districts (iudicatus) in other Croatian counties and lists other fonds and collections as additional sources. Considering the wealth of content and uniformity of application of these typical records over a wide area, they are rated as an excellent source of information for many historical and other studies, and they should be systematically displayed in our historiography.
