RESOLUTION OF 6 MAY 2003 With regard to the recent enlargement of the European Union increasing the number of Member States from 15 to 25 and in the light of the rapid changes in archival practice, especially due to the development of new information technologies, over the last ten years, the Council of the European Union adopted on 6 May 2003 a resolution (1) on archives in the Member States. This resolution invited the European Commission: - To convene a National Experts Group on archives representing the then fifteen EU Member States and the ten acceding countries, to examine the situation of public archives in Europe; - To submit to the Council a report that would include orientations for increased future cooperation on archives at the European level. The National Experts Group, which consisted of some 50 representatives of the 25 Member States and the EU Institutions and Organs, completed the Report on archives in the enlarged European Union and agreed on an Executive Summary (pages VII-X) of the Report in June 2004. Three plenary meetings of the National Experts Group took place in Brussels on 14 October 2003, 17 February and 3 June 2004 to establish the Report. At the request of the plenary meeting of the National Experts Group, additional meetings of two subgroups (the Editorial Working Group and the Drafting Group on orientations for increased archival cooperation in Europe) were organized in Brussels from December 2003 to June 2004, in order to facilitate timely progress on the Report. The Commission chaired/co-chaired the plenary and additional meetings and provided secretariat services. 2. 1991-2004 The Resolution of 6 May 2003 builds on previous archival activities at the European level. The concept of greater cooperation of Archives in Europe was officially initiated in the second half of 1991 by the Netherlands, which at that time held the Presidency of the European Union. The resulting first Report on Archives in the European Union was published by the Commission and favourably received by the Council in 1994. The subsequent Council conclusions of 17 June 1994 have led to a number of important results, in particular the organization of the European multidisciplinary DLM-Forums I, II and III (Brussels 1996, 1999 and Barcelona 2002) on electronic documents and archives and the production of INSAR (Information Summary on Archives), a periodical news review of developments in the field of archives in Europe. Both INSAR and the DLM-Forum are Commission initiatives that have been developed in close collaboration with the Member States. The main goal of the DLM-Forum is to investigate, promote and implement wider cooperation in the field of electronic documents and archives both between the Member States and at the Community level. Among the concrete results of the DLM-Forums are the I publications of the proceedings and conclusions of the DLM-Forums I, II and III (INSAR European Archives News, Supplements II, 1997; IV, 2000; VII, 2002; http://europa.eu.int/historical_archives/dlm_forum); multidisciplinary guidelines on machine readable data (INSAR, supplement III, 1997); better access to electronic information for the citizen: the relationship between public administration and archives services concerning electronic documents and archives management (INSAR, supplement V, 2001); European Model Requirements (MoReq) for the management of electronic records: MoReq specifications (INSAR, supplement VI, 2002). More details on continuing DLM priority activities can be found in the Report (chapter 5b, pages 131-135). Given the numerous new developments in the field of archives in Europe since the above mentioned 1991 Council resolution and the 1994 national experts' report ("Blackbook") and on the basis of Art. 151 of the EC-Treaty concerning institutional cooperation, the National Archivists of the Member States brought forward a new draft Council resolution on greater archival coordination in Europe, at their meeting in Lund on 4 April 2001 during the then Swedish EU-Presidency. This draft resolution was amended and reinforced at subsequent meetings during the successive EU-Presidencies of Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Greece and has led to the adoption of the above mentioned Council Resolution of 6 May 2003 and the completion of the present Report in 2004 (see point 1 above). 3. CONTENTS AND STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT In accordance with the Council Resolution of 6 May 2003 (cf. Resolution points 8a-8e and 9), the National Experts Group discussed and agreed on the contents and the structure of the Report which, in addition to this introduction and the Executive Summary, is presented in the following eight parts: * Part one: chapters 1a-1d (pages 1-39) describe the organization of the archival sector in Europe: archives and the European Institutions; the public archives services in the 25 Member States ; the interrelations and cooperation between Archives Services and public administration ; private archives. * Part two: chapters 2a-2g (pages 40-93) deal with institutional, technical and professional aspects of access to archives. Particular emphasis is placed on relevant EU and national legislation; finding aids and archival description; access on line and new research tools; setting up an Internet Gateway/Portal to documents and archives in Europe and cooperation with European networking projects in this field; reading room standards; appraisal, selection and other aspects of document and archives management. * Part three: chapters 3a-3d (pages 94-108) relate to the specific role of the archivist in the 21st century as guardian of the memory of society and the provider of authentic archival information for the public in order to enhance democracy, accountability and good governance, as well as to future training requirements and the possible recognition of archival diplomas throughout Europe, enabling archivists to carry out their role in the 21st century. * Part four: chapters 4a-4c (pages 109-123) promote measures for the prevention of damage to archives in Europe through natural and other catastrophes; the preservation and restoration of documents and archives; the standards and specifications for archives purpose buildings at the national and European level. II * Part five: chapters 5a-5b (pages 124-135) focus on the reinforcement of Europe-wide interdisciplinary cooperation on the authenticity and long term preservation of electronic documents and archives and more specifically on the promotion of DLM Forum (Document Lifecycle Management) priority activities and the development of a European DLM-network. * Part six: chapter 6 deals with possibilities of further integration in the Report with other related activities in the archival field at the European level, in particular e-Europe and the Lisbon Strategy ; e-Europe Action Plans and archival digitization projects (pages 136-139). * Part seven: chapter 7 draws attention to audio-visual archives that are becoming increasingly important in the context of new multi-media applications at the national and European levels (pages 140-147), such as the follow-up to the Council Resolution of 24 November 2003 (Official Journal of the European Communities C 295/5 of 5.12.2003). * Part eight: contains four annexes as follows - 1) List of National Experts and representatives of the EU Institutions and Organs who have contributed to the elaboration of the Report ; 2) Other contributors and assisting experts who have helped to develop the Report ; 3) List of proposed concrete actions and future orientations : increased archival cooperation in Europe ; 4) List of acronyms and abbreviations. In order to make the Report easily readable, dynamic and coherent, the National Experts Group as well as other specialist contributors and assisting experts (see Annexes 1 and 2 of the Report) have referred to the detailed responses provided by the National Archives Service in each EU Member State to a common questionnaire.

Adoption of the agenda The agenda for the meeting was adopted without change. The minutes of the 12th EAG meeting, held jointly with EBNA in Copenhagen on 30 May 2012, were approved by written procedure on 31 August. 2. The new European draft data protection Regulation a. The meeting reviewed the draft letter to Commission Vice-President Reding. The letter asks the Commission to take account of the interest of archives in the new Draft Data Protection Regulation and proposes some amendments to article 83 of the draft Regulation. It also announces the intention of the National Archives to prepare a European code of conduct on the processing of personal data by archives. The draft letter was generally welcomed. The following changes were proposed: • the last sentence of the 4th paragraph should also include the anonymisation of personal data as a potential threat to the authenticity of archives. • a general provision should be added to the Data Protection Regulation recognizing that the fundamental right to privacy and protection of personal data needs to be balanced with other legitimate public interests, e.g. the preservation of archives containing personal data that provide evidence to rectify injustices or allow citizens to obtain their legal rights. • The right of the data subject to rectify data (see amendment art.

This year the Declaration was officially endorsed also by the UNESCO in the plenary session on 10 November 2011. The Universal Declaration on Archives is currently available in 20 languages on ICA web page (Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish, Welsh) and was developed by ICA/SPA (Section of Professional Associations) on the model of the "Déclaration québécoise des Archives”.This is an important step in improving public understanding of archives, since it provides a splendid opportunity to raise still further awareness of archives among the general public and key decision-makers. The Declaration is a powerful succinct statement of the relevance of archives in modern society. It emphasizes the key role of archives in administrative transparency and democratic accountability, as well as the preservation of collective social memory. The Declaration repositions effective archives management as an essential function which underpins modern public administration, good practice in private business, and ready access to information by citizens. The first version of the Declaration was written by archivists in Québec in 2007.

Staten overtager Erhvervsarkivet (The state takes over the business archives). P. 21-22. The business archives organized privately 20 years ago in Aarhus, now boasting about 6,000 running meters of archives and a library of about 19,000 volumes, were taken over by the state on October 1, 1962. The core of the collection consists of deposits from nationwide economic organizations, but there have been accessions also from numerous smaller private enterprises. The law authorizing this transfer to public administration provides for a board of five to seven members, including the national archivist and two or three representatives each from the business world and from the universities. A chief archivist administers the institution and is a nonvoting member of the board. Financial support is guaranteed by law and is to be provided for in the regular budget. The archives may also solicit private support for special projects and for the increase of its research funds.

  • Editors' Notes
    Editors' Notes SOUND TOLL PROJECT Until 1857 the Danish king levied the Sound Toll, a tax on all ships entering or leaving the Baltic. The Danish National Archives still houses the ledgers on these ships, which have been a valuable source for many scholars of interna- tional trade and shipping. A problem inherent in the ledgers, however, is their richness of detail, especially for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when about 10,000 ships passed through yearly and were entered chronologically. Between 1906 and 1953 Nina Bang and Knud Korst published tables on the shipping .up to 1783, including cross-tabulations of the most important variables in the ledgers (e.g., home port, port of destination, composition of cargo). The Danish Research Council for the Humanities has funded a project to carry on this work from 1784. This new compilation of the data is being stored on magnetic tape, allowing both for the continuation of the time series by Bang and Korst and for the extraction of any combination of data from the tapes. To date nearly 80,000 ship passages have been processed, covering the years 1784-1791. For a typical passage, the following types of information are available. Passage on July 11, 1787, by Isaac Smith of Boston, from St. Petersburg to Boston with: Bar-iron 315 shipspound Canvas 1540 rolls Hemp 744.9 shipspound Duck 559 pieces Fine Flax 14.2 shipspound Hempseed V4 last Iron 63 shipspound Hemp-oil 4% ahme The composition of the nationalities of the ships in these years is given in the following table.

    “WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD!” THE SLOVAK MINORITY IN THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA IN 1935–1939 VLATKA DUGAČKI – MILAN SOVILJ DUGAČKI, Vlatka – SOVILJ, Milan. “We Have to Move Forward!” The slovak minority in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1935–1939. Historický časopis, 2020, 68, 5, pp. 815–839, Bratislava. The paper “We Have to Move Forward!” focuses on presenting the or- ganisation and position of the Slovak minority in the Kingdom of Yugo- slavia, placing emphasis on the period between the elections for the Na- tional Assembly in 1935 and the establishment of the Banat of Croatia in 1939. Special attention was paid to the minority’s viewpoints on the Kingdom’s internal politics, as well as, externally, the conditions in the mother country, that is, Czechoslovakia and Slovakia after the first half of March 1939. The research required the use of archived materials from the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and the Slovak National Archives in Bratislava, the Slovak minority newspapers, which, among other things, helped reconstruct the zeitgeist, and also the published sources and rele- vant literature. Although the Slovaks inhabited the entire territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, it is important to mention that the representative area used for this research was the Danube Banat (mostly the area of the present day Vojvodina and Baranja), which was most densely populated by the Slovak minority. Keywords: Slovak minority. Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Banat of Croatia. Czechoslovakia. Slovak Republic. Interwar period. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/histcaso.2020.68.5.3 Introduction In the interwar period, the Yugoslav state represented a very heterogeneous for- mation with regard to its political, social and national structure.
