  • Research on the Attitudes of the Directors of Croatian State Archives to Planning and Implementing Volunteer Management
    Research on the Attitudes of the Directors of Croatian State Archives to Planning and Implementing Volunteer Management Preliminary communication _ DOI 10.22522/cmr20160210 _ received on 3 October 2016 UDK 001.891:316.64 _ 659.44:364.467 Goran Pavelin University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia. Email: [email protected] Roko Matanović1 University of Zadar (student), Zadar, Croatia. Email: [email protected] Abstract Croatian archives have stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, opting to use government subsidies as a crutch to help them go about their business without paying much attention to economic realities. As a terrifying result, archive repositories are fraught with data and records that have not been properly sorted out and made available for public use yet. To make things worse, few citizens feel like paying the local archives a visit as they are not sure what value they might get for their time. This paper deals with a twofold approach (legislation and education) to getting archives management up to date with modern practice and also reveals why Croatian archives have been slow to change, unable to cope with their biggest setbacks. Empirical data suggest managers are ill-equipped to run a volunteer management programme, let alone carry out basic PR activities to let taxpayers know for what services they are funding the archives. According to survey results, managers would very much like to be taught how to make their tenure more successful. The paper is also ground breaking in that no other research has been done before on Croatian archives being in tune with the modern practice of volunteer management.

  • The Suffering of Roma in the Independent State of Croatia 1941
    The Suffering of Roma in the Independent State of Croatia 1941 – 1945 The Roma are a people who have suffered greatly in many European countries during the Second World War. Their suffering in certain countries in the time immediately before and during the Second World War was marked by a policy of extermination based on racial laws, with the goal of resolving the „Gypsy Question“. The consequences of this war for the Roma population of Europe were not only demographic in nature, but were also transmitted to all aspects of their position in society. We could say that the marginalized position of Roma within European societies had a strong effect on the attitude of governments towards them and their suffering in the time immediately before and during the Second World War. This was followed by victimological marginalization after the war, succinctly expressed by the term „forgotten holocaust“. To forget the suffering of an entire people in a war which had almost led to their extinction in some countries means not only to evade all responsibility – whether legal, political, material, or other – for this crime, but to enable the continuation of the same pattern of persecution. The Second World War can in some ways be considered one of the high points of the domicile (European) population’s intolerance towards the Roma as the eternal „others“ (foreigners). This intolerance is today usually encompassed by the term antiziganism. The position of Roma in the Croatian lands can be examined in a similar historical context, especially during the Second World War. It is the intent of this work to contribute towards a better understanding of the suffering of Roma in the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska – NDH).

  • Website Analysis of Croatian Archives - Possibilities and Limits in Archive Use
    DAAAM INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC BOOK 2012 pp. 651-668 CHAPTER 54 WEBSITE ANALYSIS OF CROATIAN ARCHIVES - POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS IN ARCHIVE USE PAVELIN, G. Abstract: The aim of this paper was to present the current status and characteristics of the Croatian archive websites. The paper describes the connection, similarities and differences between archives and the Internet as a media, whereby their similarity in terms of organization and presentation of information was indicated. Internet as a medium has its own laws and therefore preferences of users must be taken into account when creating websites. This is especially important for archives as institutions, because they present a national heritage through the Internet. The second part is a practical research of the characteristics of Croatian archive websites. Throughout three phases of website analysis it can be seen that Croatian archive websites are satisfactory designed, but have many shortcomings. The SWOT analysis shows how to improve a site, which also includes advantages and disadvantages, as well as opportunities and threats of Croatian archive websites. Key words: archive, Internet, website, analysis, Croatia Authors´ data: Mr. sc.

    UDK: 262.136.6 Šeper, F. Pregledni članak Received: October 10, 2011 Accepted: November 28, 2011 FRANJO ŠEPER: AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CROATIA AND THE WORLD. ON THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH* Josip KAJINIĆ** On the thirtieth anniversary of Cardinal Franjo Šeper’s death, this work presents some better and lesser-known facts and events from his life. Besides these facts, there is an analysis of Šeper’s role, both in the Catholic Church in Croatia and in the world. Certain aspects which have not thus far been sufficiently taken into consideration concerning Šeper’s activities are examined. Key words: Franjo Šeper, Catholic Church, Zagreb archbishop, cardinal, Vatican, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Introduction The activity of the Catholic Church in Croatia is a virtually inexhaustible historiographic source. This is why the activity of the Church as an institution and that of distinguished clerical officials who exerted a greater or lesser influ- ence on its work are both vital to historiography. In this regard, Franjo Šeper was certainly one of the Church’s most distinguished personalities. He began as a catechism instructor, and then became archdiocesan secretary, coadjutor * This paper is based on hitherto published data of several authors and research conducted within the framework of the scholarly project The Catholic Church in the Face of Ideology and Political Programmes at the Croatian Institute of History, led by Jure Krišto, Ph.D. ** Josip Kajinić, Croatian Institute of History, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia. 315 J.

  • Communication of the Croatian State Archives in Zadar with Its Users and the Review of the Information Needs of Genealogists
    European Scientific Journal February 2014 edition vol.10, No.5 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 COMMUNICATION OF THE CROATIAN STATE ARCHIVES IN ZADAR WITH ITS USERS AND THE REVIEW OF THE INFORMATION NEEDS OF GENEALOGISTS Goran Pavelin, PhD Department of Tourism and Communication Studies, University of Zadar, Croatia Abstract Genealogical researches associated with the Croatian archival institutions have not previously been systematically conducted neither at regional nor national level. However, more recent American researches conducted by interviewing genealogists talk about a very important group of users seeking for information from archival material and records. Based on these researches we perceive the most common user obstacles and problems they are facing during the search. Based on the available documentation in Croatian State Archives in Zadar and through questionnaires, the author has obtained the feedback from its users and the information on genealogists' habits (within the population of students and professors of the Croatian city of Zadar, and, with the second questionnaire, within the other natural or legal persons who use records). On the basis of questionnaires and insight into quantitative information on users and material, and with complementary qualitative research approaches (interviews of the American researchers with genealogists), the author came across the deeper insight on customers of the Croatian State Archives in Zadar in general, and on genealogists, in particular. The author thereby raises some key aspects in determining the users' behaviour when searching for information. In fact, the research has established the identity of the users and resulted in findings on: the uses of archives and records, ways in which users make contact with the archives, the research purposes (of genealogists in particular), the sources of reliance of genealogical users prior to visiting the archives and on the assessment which is determined by personal priority for genealogy research (1 for unimportant to 5 for extremely important).

  • Analysis of Internet Croatian State Archives in Function of More Effectively Communicate with Users
    ANALYSIS OF INTERNET CROATIAN STATE ARCHIVES IN FUNCTION OF MORE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH USERS Goran Pavelin, Dubrovnik, 31'th May 2012. Archives are treasures of information; communicate with users most directly by visiting the archives building. Archives can communicate information in other ways: By organizing exhibitions, publications and magazines, speech through media, via its website. The aim is to present material that preserve, learn about the general public with archival activities, raising awareness of archival exsistence. Archival activity- an important information service to society. Archivistic efficiency- directly depends on the extend to which they adapt to the demands of the modern information environment. In recent years, research archives dealing with the growing number of people and the wider public archives of the former elitist or scientific.

Opening of public archives - connected wih the spread of democracy, the progress of data processing and information technology. Rapid development of the global information infrastucture and network multimedia systems made more accesible information and this leads the archivist position to compete with other suppliers of information. From information products and services that provide archives today are expected to be available in electronic form and a wide range of users and content; form and technology to be adapted to the demands of the modern information environment. Modern social development, political change and the use of information technology make it posssible to switch the focus of archive storage availablity.

The Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh. Edited by John Howard Wilson and Barbara Cooke. Reviewed by Jeffrey Manley NEWS Evelyn Waugh Studies 2 Evelyn Waugh’s Yugoslav Mission: Politics and Religion Milena Borden In Evelyn Waugh’s only government Report, “Church and State in Liberated Croatia” (30 March, 1945), the novelist presented documentary evidence for his concerns about the alliance of Britain with the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito during the Second World War, recording the killing of 17 Catholic priests as human rights violations. In 2016, the National Archives of Croatia and the Institute for Croatian History in Zagreb confirmed, for the purpose of this article, the identities of these individuals. Their full details and what is known about their fates, as reported by these official bodies, are published here, in Appendices 1 and 2, for the first time. The article argues that Waugh’s views in his Report reflected his moral, religious beliefs and that they were vindicated by the post-Cold War history of Yugoslavia and Europe. In seeking to explain an understanding of Waugh’s political outlook, it discusses why and how he went beyond the aim of his military mission. The background research uses Waugh’s diaries, letters, political, polemical writings and biographies of him.
