Our archives are more than just repositories of old paper. They are treasure troves of history, preserving our nation's cultural heritage for generations to come.

Join us on a guided tour of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia, housed in a beautifully restored historic building, a former Home Guard barracks in Ljubljana. Discover the fascinating world of archival work, from preserving ancient documents, restoring them, to safeguarding precious film footage. Learn how we're working to make our nation's past accessible to everyone.

Upon prior reservation visitors (groups of up to 20 people) can visit the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia and learn about our work.
