Sažetak
This paper defi nes fundamental notions of legacy, creator, proprietor, provenance and historical context of the archival material that originate from and have been kept ‘in situ’ within the institutions of the Catholic church in Slavonia. Their historical development under the infl uence of temporal and geographical determinants has been presented. The elaboration of the issue has been directed towards a specifi c archival legacy of Catholic provenance originating from Slavonia where it is still preserved. It is a written trace of existence and work of particular institutions and persons whose common feature is the activity within the Catholic church. The hierarchial levels have been articulated that represent an actual screen of ecclesiastical and other institutions in Slavonia housing archival materials of the Catholic provenance in their archives. Subject-archival legacy has been described on the basis of its functional, typological and content-related signifi cance. Eventually, in spirit of contemporary archival theory and practice, information signifi cance of the preserved archival legacy of the Catholic provenance in Slavonia has been assessed in depicting possible prospects of its preservation and use.
