The Transdanubian Reformed Church District became independent in 1595 under Bishop Istv\u00e1n Bejthe. Earlier its territory had belonged to the Gy\u0151r and Veszpr\u00e9m Catholic Episcopates. It consisted of eight dioceses: K\u0151szeg, V\u00e9p, K\u00f6rmend, N\u00e9met\u00fajv\u00e1r, V\u00edzlendva, P\u00e1pa, Veszpr\u00e9m and Kiskom\u00e1rom. The Outer Somogy Diocese separated from the latter two and joined the Danubian District from 1629; in turn, at the beginning of the 18th<\/sup> century the Inner Somogy Diocese was attached to the Transdanubian District. In 1710 its bishop, a Veszpr\u00e9m pastor named S\u00e1muel Hodosi was expelled by Ott\u00f3 J\u00e1nos Volkra, Catholic Bishop of Veszpr\u00e9m, so until 1736 the district did not have a bishop. Then in accordance with the Carolina Resolutio it merged with the Somorja (Upper Danubian) District and the bishop of the latter, Istv\u00e1n Kocsi Major continued his service in the united church district, which henceforward was called \u201cTransdanubian\u201d. At first it also had eight dioceses: P\u00e1pa, Veszpr\u00e9m, Inner Somogy, Tata, Mez\u0151f\u00f6ld, Kom\u00e1rom, Bars and Dr\u00e9gelypal\u00e1nk, then in 1808 a ninth diocese, \u0150rs\u00e9g joined it. As a consequence of the Trianon Peace Treaty the northern part of the church district was annexed to Czechoslovakia and soon it formed an independent church district. The recent borders of the church district were fixed in 1952. Since then the Transdanubian part of Hungary has belonged to the district, with the exception of Baranya, Tolna and Pest Counties and the northern part of Fej\u00e9r County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1765 Ad\u00e1sztevel general assembly of the Tansdanubian Church District decreed to establish archives, stating: \u201cA collection should be established. The dioceses (tractus) should have their own sections according to numbers, and the letters of the diocese should be conserved here like in an archive\u201d. This archival collection did not have a permanent place, it was always held at the residence of the bishop of the time (Ad\u00e1sztevel, Kocs, Losonc and D\u00e1d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1821 chief notary Ferenc T\u00f3th granted his rich record collection to the archives of the church district and others followed suit. After having been elected bishop in 1827, Ferenc T\u00f3th transferred the archives from Dad to his seat, P\u00e1pa, and made a catalogue prepared. The work lasted one and a half decade, in the end it was completed by D\u00e1niel M\u00f3rocza county-court judge. After the death of Ferenc T\u00f3th in 1844 the archives were moved to the residence of the following bishops, at first to Kocs then to R\u00e9vkom\u00e1rom, and the records of the bishopric and the chief notary were handled separately again. After the death of B\u00e9la Sz\u00e9ki chief notary in 1871, the chief notary\u2019s records were placed in the library of the Reformed College of P\u00e1pa, where the documents were arranged by Professor Istv\u00e1n R\u00f3zsa. In 1874 the documents of the bishopric were transferred here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collected material was arranged by priest Mih\u00e1ly Szekeres and he moved it from the Seminary building to an old library of the Old College. From that time onwards the church district continuously had an appointed archivist, usually a college professor. During the First World War, between 1914 and 1918 the archives were temporarily moved to the Seminary building but the records got mixed up and were re-arranged in 1924 only by archivist J\u00f3zsef Pongr\u00e1cz. In 1927 the material of the P\u00e1pa Diocese and in 1927 the material of the Tata Diocese were taken in by the archives of the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1935 Bishop G\u00e9za Antal made a separate archival building built at his own expense on the courtyard of the Seminary (S\u00e9llyei Istv\u00e1n Street). Nevertheless, the Second World War caused huge damage. The material was re-arranged from the 1950s by Dezs\u0151 Tr\u00f3cs\u00e1nyi and Zsolt K\u00f6vy. During the Communist dictatorship the archival building as well as the Reformed schools of P\u00e1pa were nationalized, so in 1951\/1952 the archives were moved to the church district building at 16 J\u00f3kai Street, then in 1969 it was moved to 17 Cs\u00e1ky L\u00e1szl\u00f3 (then Teleki Blanka) Street. In 1958 the library and the archives of P\u00e1pa, then from 1972 the museum were fused by the Church and the unified organization was named \u201cThe Scientific Collections of the Transdanubian Reformed Church District\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
