Abstract
The features of regulatory and documentary support for the activities of bailiff administrations, border and clan courts, and clan administrations in the North Caucasus in the late 18th — early 19th centuries are considered. General information is provided about the development of the system of institutions of local judicial-administrative control in the region. The normative acts of the emperor and higher authorities defining the scope of authority of these institutions, documenting their transformations in the context of administrativeterritorial changes, containing information on personnel composition, appointment of new leaders, and other related matters are characterized. The forms of documentary support for communication between bailiff administrations and border courts with other government institutions and officials are studied, and the features of such interaction are identified depending on the place of these institutions in the administrative hierarchy. Information is provided about their document management documentation used to manage their own activities. It is concluded that the documents of these institutions have a significant heuristic potential for studying the main aspects of the history of the formation and development of the institutions of Russian statehood in this region, exogenous and endogenous factors of transformation of institutions of socionormative culture, local features of the formation and development of Russian document management culture.
