It contributes to collections of supplemented lectures from international scientific meetings related to the history of the Istria region organised by the Science and Research Centre of Koper (SRC Koper) and the Historical Society of Southern Primorska, Koper and in cooperation with other relevant institutions, such as the University of Venice, the University of Ljubljana, and the Croatian Institute for History. The Board of Editors includes international experts from Italy, Croatia, and the USA.
