Mission and Vision of the Journal

The Journal of the Istrian Archives, published by the State Archives in Pazin, is a scientific journal. The journal primar­ily publishes scientific papers on the broadest issues of the history of Istria from the point of view of various social and humanistic dis­ciplines, based for the most part on research into original archives stored in the State Ar­chives in Pazin or in foreign Archives which hold archives of Istrian provenance. Apart from such papers, the Journal also publishes other contributions of scientific and profes­sional interest: transcriptions and translit­erations of smaller sections of the original documents, professional papers in the field of archival science, reports and notes on the activities of the State Archives in Pazin, peer reviews, reviews of books and periodicals, overviews, notices, obituaries and the like. Owing to the support of numerous col­laborators, the financial support of the Min­istry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia and some towns and municipali­ties of the Istrian County, the journal is published once a year. The Journal has been regularly published since 2012 on HRČAK – the Portal of Croa­tian scientific and professional journals, and in 2019 it was included in Category A2 journals based on the Ordinance on selection criteria for election to scientific positions of the Na­tional Council for Science, Higher Education and Technological Development.
