Abstract

The Historical Archives Ljubljana collect and keep records of the archives of organisations and institutions of local and regional interest, while the archives of organisations and institutions at state level is taken care of by the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (ARS). In its depositories the Historical Archives Ljubljana keep and preserve a great variety of archives, including several notable collections of documents and manuscript books (the oldest dating from 1320), maps and charts, plans and photographs relating to the economic operation of the Municipal Authorities of Ljubljana and other towns, and minutes of councils and committees, accounting books, land registers. They also maintain the archives of other administrative bodies, the judiciary, economy, school system, socio-political organisations, associations and companies (including important archives from the quicksilver mine of Idrija), as well as of individuals and families. The majority of the older archives - more than 1,300 records, that is some 4,000 linear metres of material - are written in the German language and in Gothic characters, because up to 1882 German was the official language.

The Historical Archives Ljubljana are responsible for taking care of more than 3,000 archive groups or about 11,000 linear metres of archives, which are constantly on the increase. For conservation reasons and for easier access by users, 1,321 microfilm copies have been made. A reference library, a microfilm laboratory and copying machines are at the disposal of the public.
