Abstract
In this article the author gives an overview of Socialist League of Working People of Croatia (abbreviated as SSRNH), the most massive social-political organization in socialist Croatia. The first part refers to the foundation and the relationship with other social-political organisations, particularly League of Communists of Croatia (SKH). From the organizational structure that was conceived in seven thematic unities (1. The development of SSRNH, 2. Personnel policy, 3. The development of the political system of the socialist self-management, 4. Culture, arts, education, physical and technical culture and science, 5. Informing and international relations, 6. Social policy, health care and protection of the environment, 7. Social-economic relations) it is evident that SSRNH followed and analysed almost all the areas of the social and political life in the Socialist Republic of Croatia. Hence, the whole development and activity of SSRNH was determined by the directives from SKH and state government in the way that SSRN was the enforcer of the government and Party policy. This work underlines several areas of activity, such as mass actions during the post-war rebuilding, the establishment of the communal system, control over the media, as well as social-humanitarian and educational engagement of its organisations and collective members. Since this article is the result of a multiyear work on the archival processing and arranging of the fonds HR-HDA-1228. RK SSRNH, the second part of this paper provides information on the course of the arrangement. It focuses on the existing state of the fonds after it was acquired by the Croatian State Archives from Archives of the Institute for the History of the Workers Movement of Croatia, as well as paperwork arrangement of the SSRNH and the way in which the records were laid away. The final plan of arranging the fonds is submitted at the end of the article, based on a clearly defined theoretical frame with punctiliously elaborated methodology that enabled analysis of the records. The plan comprises of basic information on particular archival units-subfonds with inclusive dates and final quantity of the records.
