Summary CONTRIBUTION TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE STATE ARCHIVES IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA In June 2003 Section for Municipal Arehives (SMA) of the International Council on Arehives (ICA) started the work on the World Bibliograph}' on the Municipal Arehives. Austria, as the host of the fortheoming ICA Congress, was obligated to make the bibliography for the Central and East Europe, and asked for help in gathering bibliographical units concerning arehives as institutions. The starting point in preparing bibliography was Arhivski fondovi i zbirke u arhivima i arhivskim odjelima u Socijalističkoj Republici Hrvatskoj (Guide through Archivál Fonds and Collections in the Republic of Croatia), published in 1984. Along with this source, library catalogs and reference works were consulted as well, and all regional arehives were asked to send lists of editions concerning their institutions published after 1984, which they all did. While collecting data for the contribution about our regional arehives, the need for the bibliography of editions about all state arehives in the Republic of Croatia was recognized, because the last work of that kind was completed, as it has already been mentioned, twenty years ago. For that reason, bibliography about the Croatian State Arehives was added to the original bibliography. Since included references cover only works about arehives as institutions, this work can, in that sense, in the future, sérve as the basis of some more comprehensive bibliography. Key words: regional state arehives, Croatian State Arehives, bibliography
