The Historical Archives "Timok Valley" of Zaječar (Serbian: Историјски архив „Тимочка крајина“ Зајечар) are the primary institution responsible for preservation of archival materials in most of the Zaječar District located in Zaječar, Serbia. The archives are primarily serving municipalities of Zaječar, Boljevac, and Knjaževac.[2]
Background
[edit]The Historical Archives in Zaječar were established in 1948, following the orders of the Government and the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of Serbia.[3]
The archives hold over 3,000 linear meters of archival materials, organized into 485 collections and document groups. Eleven collections are designated as materials of exceptional significance. Additionally, the archives library, containing over 10,000 books, is recognized as a cultural asset of great importance. The Historical Archives of Zaječar publish a professional journal and has received numerous awards, including the Order of Merit for the People with a Silver Star and the Golden Archives Award for 2006.[3]
The building that currently houses the archives was constructed in 1932, designed by local architect P. Đorđević as a residence for Milan Savić, a wealthy mine owner. In 1978, the building was purchased by the state to serve the needs of the archives. In 1984, it was declared a cultural asset and designated as a monument of culture, ensuring its protection and preservation.[4]
