The Mayors appointed and the other city officials supervised a sizeable crew of minor officials, kleine officieren, what we would today call bureaucrats.
Two volumes from the archives list these bureaucrats during Leeuwenhoek's civic career.
They are lists, mostly without dates, so the archivists date them as around 1650 to around 1692 for the first volume (upper row below, click to enlarge) and from then until around 1720 for the second volume (lower row below). The index of the 1650 register has 201 job titles. The books have a page for each, often full of names and salaries. The table of contents of the 1692 register also notes which pages include the office's oath (eed). Some of them, including both Camerbewarrders and Wijnroeijers, include the yearly salary.
