LIBRARY OF REGIONAL STATE ARCHIVES IN ZADAR. FROM THE GUBERNATORIAL TO SPECIAL ARCHIVAL LIBRARY
Mirisa Katić Piljušić
Sažetak
Regional State Archives (Archivio Generalizio) in Zadar was founded in 1624 and its library originated from the Library of Dalmatian Governorship (K. k. Statthalterei Bibliothek in Zadar), founded at the end of 1894. It developed from the reference library used by the state offices to expert archival library. Using the records, this article analyses the origin of the library holdings. It monitors the acquiring system from taking possession of books and collections from the government office, gifts that came from Zadar and other places, to buying and exchanging with other similar libraries. It documents the origin, registration and processing of the library holdings from the first 8000 units of library records obtained until the late 19th century, whereas today the Library has 50000 volumes. The Library was intended for the employees of the Governorship and users of the archives and was entitled to an obligatory copy of every publication printed in Dalmatia from 1895 to 1913. This practice was renewed after the Second World War. In 1918 the Library was annexed to the Archives (Archivio del Governo della Dalmazia…), which after the Second World War became Regional State Archives in Zadar and the Library became one of its sections. Nikola Nardelli was responsible for foundation of the Library, the governor of the Gubernatorial Archives Sebastian Böttner for its organization and his son the librarian and archivist Heinrich Böttner for its continuous work until 1943, hence this article researches their role in the development of the Library, together with all the other people who worked there after the Second World War. Following the documentation about the Library this article analyses the acquiring system, collaboration with other institutions, processing and storage of the archives, working with users and the relationship of the environment towards Archives and the Library, the latter being often mentioned in different historiographical and scientific works as a research source. In that way this library has an important place among archival libraries, particularly those that have in their fonds rarities and ancient archives and it is the part of the modern archival information system that must satisfy needs of archival activities, both within and outside its main institution.
