Abstract
The paper analyzes the 2.164 references of 122 categorized papers published in Arhivski vjesnik (Bulletin d’archives) in the period 2001-2010. Papers are divided into several thematic groups and predominating articles that deal with archives and history of institutions. References are divided into several types, with predominant printed literature that brings new knowledge (books, journals, articles published in journals and other publications). Reference age is observed according to periods following the division of the Croatian State Archives’ Department for Protection and Processing Archival Records. Predominant is recent literature, published from 1992 onwards. Frequency and distribution of journals and official publications has been analyzed and the greatest frequency has been found in Arhivski vjesnik and several foreign journals. From the official publications the most often referred ones are those at the national level, especially Narodne novine, while the official publications on the level lower than national that are referred several times appear to a lesser extent, depending on the topics of the paper itself. Most frequent finding aid is Pregled arhivskih fondova i zbirki Republike Hrvatske from 2006, as well as its earlier edition from 1984 entitled Arhivski fondovi i zbirke u SFRJ. SR Hrvatska. The most frequent books are Arhivi i arhivsko gradivo: zbirka pravnih propisa 1828–1997; Povijest institucija državne vlasti Kraljevine Hrvatske, Slavonije i Dalmacije by I. Beuc and Arhivski zapisi: teorija i praksa by L. Duranti. Disparity specifying multiple references is shown and the importance of uniform cited bibliography is explained. It is concluded that analysis of the literature mentioned in the articles published in Arhivski vjesnik leads to the most relevant titles in the archival profession, which can help to ensure a sufficient number of copies in the archival library, as well as for the professional advancement in the archival profession, protection of frequently used references in the Library of the Croatian State Archives, as well as the choice of titles for digitization and greater availability of literature.
