Abstract
For the Croatian Film Archives, as the national film archives, the basic and crucial task is to collect, keep, preserve and provide the totality of the film collections produced in the Republic of Croatia. Aside from the national film collection, the Croatian Film Archives also keep the non-film holdings (which include film photographs, screenplays, storyboards and film posters) that give the necessary information about the development of a particular film. Next to the non-film holdings, there is also library material that deals with film topics and because of the fast growing tempo in its acquisition, the question of location for it appeared but so did the solution to it in the form of the new Film Reference Library in the Croatian Film Archives’ reading room. The Croatian State Archives’ Library has actively participated in the segment of professional processing of the mentioned material. During the formation of the Film Reference Library, a librarian drew up an inventory, catalogued and allotted the call number and arranged the material into the adequate space (the Croatian Film Arcives’ reading room) with the ultimate goal of making the library material accessible to the users. This film reference library is first and foremost intended to be used by the employees of the Croatian Film Archives for research, study and arranging of film records, while at the same time it is available to general public i.e. researchers, employees of similar institutions and university students. Students of the Academy of Dramatic Art will find it particularly useful for writing their papers, BA and PhD theses.
