Background

edit

The archive was established at the Zrenjanin Court House on September 1, 1947, and in 1952 it was moved to the Zrenjanin City Hall where it remains until today.[2]

The archive preserves 774 collections and funds, totaling approximately five thousand meters of archival material, dating from 1765 to 2016.[3] Based on the categorization performed in 1998, 67 collections from the period between 1765 and 1956 were declared cultural heritage of exceptional importance, and 66 collections from the period between 1769 and 1970 were declared of great importance.[3]

The prominent role in the establishment of the institution was played by Toma Rajić.[2] The archive was established as the Archival Centre No. 4 by the decision of the authorities of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.[4] Between 1954 and 1957 the archive published Arhivska građa edition aimed at facilitating research work in addition to internal catalogues.[2] The current name of the institution was introduced in 1965.[4] The archive is under the direct supervision of the Archive of Vojvodina which serves as the central archival institution in Vojvodina.[4]
