Abstract
This paper aims to portray the development of the archival service in the Republic of Croatia
from 1945 to 2023 by examining the legal and normative framework. This framework reflects the
political, legal, and economic systems that were established and sustained during specific periods.
Over the course of the 20th century, the national archival service became a widespread component
of public administration globally. In the 1960s and 1970s, it progressively gained institutional
significance in our country, evolving into a mandatory activity across the entire territory of the
then Socialist Republic of Croatia. The paper examines archival legislation, specifically the legal
framework governing the preservation of archival and documentary materials. It delves into the
state’s interaction with archival institutions and holdings, encompassing aspects such as material
preservation by the creator, appraisal, timelines, methods of transfer, and ultimately the utilization
of the material by the creator and within the archives.
