History
The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (ARS) as an institution date back to 1859, when the Carniolan Historical Society proposed the establishment of a provincial archive. This provincial archive later became part of the Provincial Museum of Carniola, later the National Museum in Ljubljana, but in 1926 it was upgraded to become the State Archives, albeit still operating within the Museum.
In October 1945 the National Government of Slovenia separated the State Archives from the National Museum, establishing it as an independent institution; it acquired its present name in 1991. Following the political changes, the so-called ‘'Special Archives'’ (the Historical Archives of the Central Committee of the Slovene League of Communists) were abolished and merged with the State Archives in 1990 and two years later the former Archives of the Institute of the History of the Labour Movement (later renamed the Institute of Modern History) were also incorporated. Finally, in 1998, the Archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, comprising records of the National Security Agency, were added to the State Archive’s holdings.
The special section Slovene Film Archives was established in 1968.
Venue, branches
Apart from its headquarters at the Gruber Palace, a listed building with a refined Baroque interior, the Archives has two branches with reading rooms at Kongresni trg and an archival storage depot at Poljanska cesta 40, while the Slovene Film Archives are housed partly at the underground storehouse at Gotenica in the Kočevje region.
Programme
The primary aim of the ARS is to collect, preserve, process and facilitate access to the national archival heritage of the Republic of Slovenia. Its tasks relate to public archival material and documentation created by government agencies and other public institutions that are established and financed by the state and that operate nationwide. The ARS also preserves private records and, through the Slovene Film Archives, film archival material for the entire country. It maintains a central register of public records kept in Slovenia, a register of foreign records concerning Slovenia and Slovenes and a register of public symbols, coats of arms, flags, seals and stamps of national significance. As an administrative institution within the organisational structure of the Ministry of Culture, the ARS’s professional and administrative activities also involve the preservation of records significant to the Republic of Slovenia, and other tasks defined by the Ministry of Culture.
Courtesy of Archives of the Republic of SloveniaThe ARS preserves public and private records in accordance with the Protection of Documents and Archives and Archival Institutions Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 30/2006). Protection is granted to all confidential data contained in the public records (such as state, official, military, business and occupational data), as well as personal data and data referring to the privacy of individuals - in accordance with the relevant legislation. Private records are preserved according to the instructions of private donors. The professional tasks of the ARS also include publishing archival sources kept in the ARS and in foreign archives that are significant to the history of Slovenia and Slovenes and making records available for use.
The ARS participates in public information systems and on the Internet with a computerised database of its archived materials. Its records are available for use in the ARS research rooms.
The ARS engages in cultural and educational activities and has various publications, including the in-house bulletin Obvestila (News) and e-Obvestila (e-News) available on the ARS website (Slovene only). The ARS also o-operates in preparing the Archives Journal, a joint publication of the ARS and the Archival Association of Slovenia (AAS).
Projects
The project of digitisation of archives holdings comprised scanning of the Emperor Francis’ Cadastre (from between 1824 and 1867), which included 28,000 recordings or 2,800 recorded cadastral municipalities with 28,000 cadastral maps. Due to format sizes (A1 and bigger), it was necessary to engage an external expert with the appropriate equipment. A database of the Cadastre is now available on ARS website. In 2004-2005 ARS carried out the project to scan charters (5,984 charters, Collection of Charters, AS 1063), which constitute the oldest archival material kept in the ARS. The project included the scanning of 34.400 units of coats-of-arms, diplomas, charts, maps and pictures from eight record groups. A database of the Charters is currently available only in the ARS reading room.
International cooperation
The ARS has been a Category A Member of the International Council on Archives (ICA) since 1992 and a member of ICA’s European section International Council on Archives (ICA), European Regional Branch (EURBICA) since 2001. Since 2000 it has been involved in the EU’s European Bureau of National Archivists (EBNA) and since 2006 it has also been involved in the EU work of the European Archives Group (EAG) established in Brussels. ARS co-operated in the MOSAIC project of 1997-2002 with Professor Christopher Clarkson of Oxford University, UK, who led workshops on book conservation.
