The keeping of the scriptorium and chancery by the first Polish Paulines dates back to the first half of the 15th century. It was mainly focused on copying liturgi­cal and related books used for pastoral purposes, legal documentation and history, which included among others the history of the image of Our Lady (Translacio tabule) and the Chronicle of Wincenty Kadłubek. In the 16th century the scripto­rium of Jasna Góra undertook the documentation of religious life in the sanctuary, including the first reports of pilgrims and records of confreres, as a response to the attacks of the Reformation. At the same time the scriptorium created the first car­tularies and other books containing legal processes, inventories, as well as library and account records. The development process of the chancery has reached its peak in the early 17th century, when Fr. Mikołaj Staszewski (1595-1658), a former employee of the Curia of Poznań, later Provincial and General of the Pauline Or­der, entered the Board of the Order and introduced a new style of copying files. He also initiated the process of writing Pauline chronicles – first of the Polish Pro­vince and then of the whole Order, and introduced relevant secretarial standards to the religious constitution, of which he was the main inspirer and contractor. Currently the Polish Pauline Archives store 71 medieval manuscripts from Polish scriptoria, and more than 40 cartulary books from the modern era, among which only one Formulare obedientiarum salutationum et epistolarum variarum of Dionizy Klękowski (1599-1675) contains 1053 copies of various documents and correspondence from the period 1367-1673.

In 1942 occupation authorities of the General Government took a decision on transfer of the archives outside the municipal buildings of the city of Warsaw. The most valuable records were deposited at the Sokolnicki’s Stronghold in Zoliborz district. Meanwhile, facing the impending offensive against the Soviet army, Dr. Hans Branig decided on deportation of the most valuable archives to the Pauline Monastery of Jasna Góra in Częstochowa. Responsible for preparing storage for them was Dr. Kazimierz Kaczmarczyk, former director of the State Archives in Poznań. List of archives that were transferred was drawn up on July 4th, 1944. Items were packed in 43 chests. Among them were The Crown Metric from The Central Archives of Historical Records and the oldest records from the Municipal Archives and Archives of Historical Records. Transportation could not take place due to threat of uprising in August 1944. This was only possible on November 25th–27th, 1944, when the Soviet offensive was already a fact. Then 59 packs of parchments (279 boxes), 84 packets with the cartographic acts and 117 boxes of the Crown Registers and the oldest land and municipal registers as well as records of guilds from the holdings of The Central Archives of Historical Records were with high probability transported via three cars. Archival materials were deposited in the confessors of the Church. Holder of the keys was Kaczmarczyk, who along with Stanislaw Stojanowski arranged records for the last days of German occupation and after the arrival of the Russians. The archives returned to Warsaw city probably in the late summer of 1946. Then records were deposited temporarily at one of Warsaw’s Palaces (Pod Blachą Palace).
