Destruction of archival records in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Samija Sarić
Sažetak
Bosnia and Herzegovina has experienced not only the war destruction, but also sudden changes caused by political and economic transitions. The destiny of cultural-historical monuments' and archive materials, during 'the war; has been different. The quantity of archive material; equipment, processing technics and devastated surface areas depended on the territory in which certain facilities of archives or institutions were based. Certainly that facilities and archive materials based .in Sarajevo, where the war activities were the most intensive and which was under the siege for 1.000 days with constant shelling, were destructed the most; as well as Mostar, Bihać, Zenica,Tuzla, Goražde, Tešanj, Maglaj and other cities suffering the war activities, differed from the cities in' which the war activities did not take place like Banja Luka, Trebinje; Bijeljina, Brčko etc. Prior to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there had been eight Archives accompanying the home Archive based in Sarajevo: The Archive of Herzegovina in Mostar, the Archive of Bosnian Krajina in Banja Luka, the Archive of Middle Bosnia in Travnik, the Historical Archive of Sarajevo, and four regional archives based in Tuzla, Bihać, Foča and Doboj. Dividing Bosnia and Herzegovina into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska, foundation of the Archive of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina acting throughout the Federation has become a necessity. It started to function on the 1st of June 1997. The archives based in Mostar, Tuzla, Travnik arid Bihac are functioning independently as well as the Historical Archive of Sarajevo mostly as the district archives. The Archive of Bosnian Krajina in Banja Luka changed its name into the Archive of Republika Srpska and took on a role of home archive over the Archives in the entire region of the Republika Srpska and over the newly established Archive in Bijeljina. The archive sources, according to the above mentioned, were irreparably damaged by the war in our country. Recent experience have shown that the archive sources and register's documents outside the archive depots had suffered heavy damages: As far as we have learnt in the register's offices in Sarajevo around 90% of operative sources were destroyed especially those of the Government and the Assembly since their buildings were intensively shelled and set to fire. The archive sources in around 50% of the register's offices have been destroyed and damaged although the Department for protection of archive sources and register's documentation outside the Archives intensified its work even in 1991 and at the very beginning of 1992. The similar situation was in other Archives and institutions.
