The Archive of Charles University is taking care about a collection of writing calendars from the years 1679-1786, mostly the German version of "Titular-Kalender zu Ehren Sancti Wenceslai", that were released by the privileged publishers (Johann Arnolt von Dobroslawin, Karl Gerzabek, Georg Labaun). These calendars were originally stored in the frames of archival funds (namely in so-called Bachmann's Manipulation), but later they were transferred to the collection of old prints.

Most of the calendars include the handwritten remarks of their users: 1) before the end of the 40's of the 18th century undoubtedly officers of the university transformation; 2) in the second half of the 18th century a private person. The importance of the collection is based on their close connection with the practice of administration at the baroque university.
