Does "the region" refer to "the province"?
Context:
An important central document was distributed to every province and county, while more sensitive material might have been copied only to the first secretaries of each province. In other words, a wealth of material which does nt necessarily pertain to the region in question can be found in provinceial collections, including minutes of speeches and gatherings at the hightest level. These minutes can vary considerably, as they were taken by different people, sometimes from tape recordings. Some are more detailed than others. I have tried to make it as easy as possible for the interested reader to find out the provenance of each document.

it is difficult to say without knowing how people think of the different parts of the country. Does each province correspond to a geographical region? In the US there are states, which are clearly defined political/administrative divisions, and there are regions, which are groups of adjacent states which are perceived as having something in common with each other, such as New England.
