Abstract
The Trakai Journal, prepared by representatives of the local authorities on the occasion of the visit to Trakai of President Ignacy Moscicki and which is currently in private hands, is a valuable source of information on city life, including the life of the Karaim community, describing events from the years 1918–1927. Details on the President’s visit of 4th of July 1927, which was the main motivation for preparing this record, offers an accurate insight into the circumstances in which the treasury box was received as a gift for keeping royal privileges.
