Tyhjenemisasstalso

Tyhjenemisasstalso is a term that appears in certain contexts related to historical administrative or record-keeping practices, particularly within Finnish or Nordic archival systems. The word itself is a compound, with "tyhjentää" meaning "to empty" or "to clear out" and "asstalso" potentially referring to a register, ledger, or archive. Therefore, "tyhjenemisasstalso" can be interpreted as a "clearing-out register" or an "archive of emptied items."

This term likely refers to a specific type of record that documented items or documents that were removed from a main archive or collection. This removal could be due to various reasons such as obsolescence, damage, duplication, or transfer to another repository. The register would serve as a historical trace, indicating what was once held and why it was no longer present. Such registers are valuable for researchers seeking to understand the provenance and history of archival collections, as they provide insights into past archival management decisions and the evolution of record-keeping. The specific usage and exact meaning can vary depending on the historical period and the institution where the term was employed. Without further context, a precise definition remains speculative, but its function as a record of removal is the most probable interpretation.
