History
In the work of the University of Ljubljana documents were and are being produced, which form an important part of Slovenian cultural heritage. For at least three decades University of Ljubljana tries to maintain, process and ensure the use of the archives. For this goal a special service was established within the University secretariat in agreement with the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia in 1968, when the then current law on archives largely disallowed organization of special archives. These archives now bear the unofficial title History Archives and Museum of the University (ZAMU) and ‘‘Archival-museum service’’ de jure. They are a very specific institution for cultural protection, whose activities cover tasks in the field of archival, museum and library profession.
In 1999 a permit was granted to the University, which ensures the protection of its public university archives. The University has thus committed to provide appropriate facilities, equipment and qualified workers to establish an organization, capable of ensuring effective protection of its archives and providing necessary financial resources for this purpose.
Programme / mission
Contrary to the university archives of some other European Union countries, where protection is regulated on the basis of the University Law, the protection of Ljubljana University archives is fully subject to state archival legislation.
Collections
The Historical Archives and Museum of the University of Ljubljana contains some 450 linear metres of records, drawn largely from the Rector's Office of the University of Ljubljana and its institutions of higher education. The records date from 1919, when the University of Ljubljana was founded, up to 1960. There are also collections of approximately 5,000 photographs and negatives, around 600 museum documents relating to the life and work of the Slovene University of Ljubljana and a substantial number of books relating to the history of universities at home and abroad, encyclopaedias, lexicons and dictionaries given as a gift to the University by Ivan Hribar.
Publications
Amongst the many publications held here are: Zbornik ob 50 letnici ljubljanske univerze ('Miscellany on the 50th Anniversary of the University of Ljubljana', 1969); Zbornik ob 70 in ob 75 letnici ljubljanske univerze ('Miscellany on the 70th and 75th Anniversaries of the University of Ljubljana'); Foto-zbornik: slovenski Študenti v boju za narodno in socialno osvoboditev 1919-1941 ('Photo-miscellany of Slovene Students’ Fight for National and Social Liberation, 1919-1941'); Pot do slovenske univerze ('Building a Slovene University'); and a number of catalogues from exhibitions organised by the Historical Archives and Museum of the University of Ljubljana. Research elaborations include one from a symposium of European universities in Vienna conceived by Ana Benedetič (Einige spezielle Probleme des Archivgutes der Universitat Laibach).
Exhibitions
Various rooms within the historical university building in the city centre offer possibilities for exhibitions. The museum has prepared a complex exhibition entitled ‘Ljubljana - a High School and University Centre’ which was toured to Graz, Krakov, Prague and some other cities. It has also undertaken research projects (History of Education and European Identity) with Erlangen-Nuerenberg and Frankfurt am Main Universities.
