M. Pandžić, Povodom 350. obljetnice izrade škrinje povlastica/sloboština - »arhiva« Kraljevstva Hrvatske (1643-1993). Arh. vjesn., god. 36 (1993) str. 7-21 Ioannes Zakmardy, and it was also preserved in the Zagreb cathedral, up to 1764, when it was transfered to the new place of the Archives of the Kingdom (in the Upper town of Zagreb). This chest is now preserved in the trésor of the Croatian National Archives in the building that was built for it (and for the National and University Library) in Zagreb, in 1913. So, that is another anniversary, 80 years of the Croatian National Archives in that building. The biggest problem of the Croatian National Archives today is the problem of its repositories being on nine various places inside and outside of Zagreb. There is a conclusion already achieved by Croatian Government to concentrate almost all archival material of the present Croatian National Archives (about 20 1/km) in this spaceful and charming building from 1913, being a Cultural monument of Secession as soon as the National and University Library is moved to a new building. It would be a quite satisfactory solution until a new and modern building is constructed for the Archives and this cannot be very soon because of the huge financial costs for it. As it was in the Middle Ages and later on, the archival material of those days well preserved in a Chest of the privileges, so is the National Archives of Croatia nowadays looking for a new space of its valuable, centuries old archival material. 21
