The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia completed the first stage of its move to new location

Between September 2 and 27, 2024, the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia completed the first stage of its move to its new location at Poljanska Road 40. Archival records, which were temporarily unavailable during the relocation, are once again accessible to visitors in our reading room at Zvezdarska Street 1. The reading room will during the relocation continue to operate according to the summer schedule, i. e. Monday to Friday from 8 am to 2 pm.

Last week, the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia completed the relocation of a part of its archival holdings and of the entire collection of its archival library from Zvezdarska Street 1 to Poljanska Road 40 and Kapusova Street 4 (the building complex of the former military barracks along the Roška Road). We relocated 29 archival fonds and collections (around 2,300 running metres of archival records) from the current repositories at Zvezdarska Street 1 to our new repositories at Kapusova Street 4 and Poljanska Road 40. The relocated materials include archival records that, according to more than a decade of reading room statistics, are the most frequently used records by our visitors. From September 16, these records are again made available to visitors in our archival reading room. In addition to archival holdings, the entire collection of our archival library, which consists of almost 30,000 units (700 running metres) has been relocated as well.

Archival records that, according to reading room statistics, are less frequently used and do not need to be always readily accessible, have been moved from the repositories at our new location to the repositories at Zvezdarska Street 1. This includes 12 archival fonds (around 2,000 running metres). In total, this September we managed to relocate 5,000 running metres of archival records and library units.
