«Noted Statements Lack Attention»: Archangelsk provincial government in the first half of the 19th Century

This article discusses organization of the work of the Arkhangelsk provincial government in the first half of the 19th century, including the process for formation of the office staff and its funding, changes in the scope, main directions, contents and order of the work as compared to the respective legislative acts of the first half of the 19th century. Based on that, a conclusion is drawn, whether such typical features of bureaucratisation, as increase of the office staff and hierarchy levels in number, introduction of subspecialty functions, making regulation of the work more sophisticated, and formation of the document control system, have already developed at that time and to which extent.
