Abstract
After Kamilo Firinger, Dr. Iur., who set the foundations to the State Archives in Osijek in 1952, there were a few directors who more or less successfully helped to make the Osijek Archives the main archive of Slavonia and the dominant place for historic research of the area. Stjepan Sršan, PhD, born in Podturen in Međimurje on 7 April 1941, died in Osijek on 30 July 2014, had a significant role in that sense. He dealt with various topics, in particular with the research of the history of nobility in the area where they had a leading role in the political and economic life. In that sense, Sršan made a significant step forward, thus facilitating the present and future historians to study the individual elements of this part of history.
