Some Peculiarities of Arranging Correspondence on the Example of the Personal Papers of Vinko Pulišić, the Archbishop of Zadar and Metropolitan of Dalmatia
Anamaria Perović
Abstract
The paper outlines the manner in which the correspondence within personal papers can be arranged, based on the example of the personal papers of Vinko Pulišić, archbishop of Zadar and metropolitan of Dalmatia. The procedure of formation of this particular whole (i.e. correspondence) of the archival fonds and its arrangement had been done by taking into account the obligatory archival norms and by considering guidelines that had so far been published in literature dealing with the subject. At the same time, contemporary recommendations for arranging were mostly used, and, to a certain extent, adjusted to needs arising from the content of the archives. When it comes to arranging and describing personal papers, including correspondence as its component, besides general regulations and instructions that had to be taken into account, the important part in producing an inventory also depends on the personal judgement of the archivist. Hence, general archival principles pertaining to arranging do not exclude certain variations, but their implementation in some cases can contribute to a more complete and clear presentation of the archives.
