The sources for the study of the history of the Jews of Tykocin in the years 1795-1914 are scattered over many archives. No records produced by the Jewish community in Tykocin have survived. It is possible to study the life and problems of the Tykocin Jews thanks to documents coming from state administration, church institutions and the administrators representing the owners of the town of Tykocin. The most valuable sources for the study of the history of the Jews of Tykocin are kept at the Archiwum Glówne Akt Dawnych (The Central Archives of Historical Records) in Warsaw in the collections of 'Archiwum Roskie', the Branicki Archives of Bialystok, the Government Revenue and Treasury Commission, the Central Religious Denominations Authority of the Kingdom of Poland and the Government Internal Affairs Commission. Additional sources include documents kept in the state archives in Lomza (the Mazovia County (Powiat) Administration set) and in Białystok (in the collections: the records of the town of Tykocin, the Chancellery of the Lomza Governor, and the Lomza Provincial (Guberniya) Government. Some information about the Jews of Tykocin can be found in the files of the Diocesan Archives in Lomza and the Museum in Tykocin. The registrar files of Tykocin Jews are kept in the Parish Archives in Tykocin, the State Archives in Bialystok and the Archives of the Registrar's Office in Tykocin.

The topic of raabisation maps has not been dealt with much yet which is why this paper intends to point out the significance of these maps. They are not only a source of information for the reconstruction of the historical landscape in the late 18th century, but also an intersting probe into the financial and legal circumstances which underwent signifiant changes due to raabisation.

The article explicates the need to use oral history sources together with other types of sources in the study of the history of Latvia in the 20th century, to discover facts that have been kept concealed so far, and to render the view of the past in a more accurate and versatile manner. Oral history sources are the only ones that enable us to attempt to reconstruct from the contemporary perspective how people who took part in historical events provided motivation, justification, and explanation for their behaviour in different situations. The author observes a situation described in archival records and in the life stories of two women, a mother and a daughter, living in eastern Latvia. The central event of both stories is the deportation that took place on 25 March, 1949. This article is based on an analysis of problems encountered when compiling the collection 'The Voices of the Deported, 25 March 1949: The fate of some deported families from Daugavpils and Ilukste districts in oral history sources and archival documents'. The information from oral history sources supplements, clarifies, and sometimes contests the archival documents; the use of oral history sources gives a clearer view of the contrast between the official and the individual perception of the same facts. Relying on the authoress' experience in preparing a source publication, the article deals with the legal and ethical problems related with the complex publication of archival documents and oral sources, and the issues connected with the archaeography of sources.
