Abstract
The article is dealing with archival fonds of the Union of the Associations of Battlemen of the National Liberation War in Croatia (Savez udruženja boraca NOR-a Hrvatske), preserved in the Croatian State Archives (Hrvatski državni arhiv). Data on its establishment and organization, mandates and activities, are presented in the introduction. The course of archival treatment, problems which emerged and the work on the (re)organization of the archives according to the organizational structure are described, same as a work of forming series: congresses, assemblies and plenary sessions, Republican Board (Republički odbor), general administrative activities, connections with the Union of the Associations of Battlemen of the National Liberation War in Yugoslavia (SUBNORJ-Savez udruženja boraca narodnooslobodilačkog rata Jugoslavije), and on forming sub- and sub-sub-series, as the most important parts of the fonds for getting acquaintance with activities of working bodies.
As the example for the arrangement of one working body (which is at the same time the best preserved unit at this level of arrangement) the Commission for the Preservation of Traditions, Historical Evaluation and Research of People’s Liberation Struggle, and for Editing Activities is described (Komisija za očuvanje tradicija, povijesnu valorizaciju i izučavanje NOB-a i izdavačku djelatnost), presenting at the same time, in the best manner, a profile of the Union’s work: care for the members and care for the preservation of NOB, i.e. PLS traditions (PLS-People’s Liberation Struggle).
The archives are valuable addition to the sources relevant for the national history and history of political organizations from the period after the Second World War. They reflect social values which were influential for the social, political and cultural life in the region.
