Summary/Abstract: In the article the author presents the result of preliminary research conducted in the Diocesan Archives in Drohiczyn. The objective was to compile an inventory of documents, produced both by monasteries and by church or state administration, which dealt with matters concerning religious orders. The research has yielded a lot of interesting information about dissolved monasteries: of the Calced Carmelites in Bielsk Podlaski, the Reformati in Boćki; the Jesuits (then Piarists), the Franciscans, the Basilians and the Benedictine Nuns in Drohiczyn; the Missionaries in Siemiatycze; the Apostolic Union of Secular Priests and the Reformati in Węgrów; as well as a dozen or so other monasteries from the western governorates of the Russian Empire.
