The Summary Inventory of the Fonds of the People’s Committee of the Pazin Town Municipality 1952 - 1955

Abstract

The People’s Committee of the Pazin Town Municipality was founded in April 1952 following the abolition of the Local People’s Committees of Pazin, Gračišće, Kašćerga, Katun Trviški and Sveti Petar u Šumi, whose jurisdiction was transferred to the newly established People’s Committee of the Pazin Town Municipality. This was active until the end of August 1955, when the new administrative reform abolished the town municipalities, which turned into the newly established municipalities. After the abolition of the People’s Committee of the Town Municipality of Pazin, the People’s Committee of the Pazin Municipality was established, which assumed the local authority of the abolished creator. The People’s Committee of the Pazin Town Municipality was hierarchically subordinate to the People’s Committee of the Pazin District. The People’s Committee of the Town Municipality was in charge of executive affairs in connection with the economic, infrastructural, social and cultural development of the Town Municipality. For the purpose of studying individual issues and preparing conclusions and conducting a survey of the council, the People’s Committee of the Town Municipality established permanent and occasional commissions. Councils were set up for the execution of the laws and regulations of the People’s Committee and higher state authorities and for the conduct of administrative affairs. The People’s Committee of the Town Municipality had its own administration, headed by a secretary, to prepare and implement the tasks within its competence. The execution of decisions and other acts, of the measures of the People’s Committee and of the regulations of the higher state organs, as well as and the harmonization of the work of all the bodies of the People’s Committee, under the supervision of the administration, was ensured by the President of the People’s Committee.
After the creator ceased to work, the material remained in the possession of the successor until it was taken over by the Archive from the Pazin Municipality Assembly on two occasions, in 1972 and 1973. The material was then arranged provisionally, recorded and extracted from the material of related creators. Archival processing was carried out during 2016, and in September of that same year a Summary Inventory was made. The archives were arranged in accordance with the content-functional model of arrangement, according to which the individual series were formed. The Fonds consists of ten basic series: Registry Aids, General Affairs, Labour and Employment Relations, Internal Affairs, Economy, Finance, Health and Social Care, Education and Culture, Judiciary and People’s Defence. Subseries and sub-subseries were set up at the lower levels of the structure, while the material was arranged chronologically at the lowest level.
