Sažetak
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the death of the first manager of the State Archives in Pazin, Ljubomir Petrović (1930 – 2014), the article brings a brief retrospect of the history of archival services in Istria with emphasis on the period of Petrović’s heading of the Archives. The last chapter of the article contains a transcript of the 1965 Report of the Work of the Historical Archives in Pazin presenting the activities from its establishment in 1960 until early 1966 when Petrović left the position of the manager of the Institution. The author of the Report gives a year-by-year summary of the development of the Institution listing also the obstacles that the newly-formed Archives was facing. The document clearly shows Petrović’s commitment to his tasks of forming and equipping a professional staff necessary to make the Archives a living place of storage of material of Istrian origin. Despite his professional formation in Belgrade, after having undertaken the mission to create a new archival institution, Petrović soon settled in Istrian political, social and cultural environment and by 1962 he was capable of providing sound arguments in his opposing to the advocates of abandonment of the project and merger of the Istrian region with the competence of the Archives in Rijeka. He worked patiently and diligently to establish the system of archival service in Istria, adopted the necessary regulations and gradually employed professional and technical staff. When he completed his management service in 1966, he handed over to his successor Jovan Popović the Archives which by that time was a firmly organised institution.
