The Gorenjska unit of the Historical Archives Ljubljana was established in 1973. It collects and preserves the documents of numerous legal units and individuals from Jesenice, Kranj, Radovljica, and Tržič.

History

Systematic research has been conducted into archives from the central and north western Carniola (Gorenjska) region, along with evaluation and collection of preserved archives from the period up to 1945, numerous documents of the dissolved municipal board units up to 1955 or 1965, and archives of schools, monetary institutes, associations, courts, and public or private enterprises.

The archives hold more then 340 records, amounting to some 1,700 linear metres of material. The oldest document dates from 1590. A reference library, a microfilm laboratory, and copying machines are at the public's disposal.
